Well I met a mini goal of mine..
Last nite (Thursday nite) I was able to run for my goal of 15 mins nonstop..
got in 1.2 miles
10 min run the day before (Wednesday)
not putting in a lot of miles overall... but my stamina is definitly increasing..
Also, I'm going to put in here the goals that I'm aiming for, per my Running 101 book
Since it was a library book... I had to return it today..
so I'm gonna put the training guide in here so I don't forget

My left hip is very very slightly bothering me again today... so I'm keeping my eyes on that..
The potassium supplements that the doc prescribed for me have been helping greatly with the "dead" feeling in my legs after my runs...
I'm still getting a little bit of that jello feeling where my legs feel like they're about to collapse tho..

Eating has just been the shits
not sure why we can't seem to stay on track for more than a few days at a time..
we have GOT to stop that
anyways, updating stats

well today marks the start of a new month...
even tho I didn't do nearly as well as I'd like last month, I have no complaints..
I'm still moving and my quest to better health is still there so I'm not worrying about it..
I know, like some runs, that some months will be better than others... and I'm ok with that..
besides, I'm trying to take it easy for my left hip to fully heal...
It's feeling tons better but still a little achy after each run..
3.3 miles tonite
didn't go for 10 or 15 minutes.. in fact, I think the longest stretch was only 5 minutes..
that's ok too.. my average HR was 140's... so I know I'm still workin it

had an AWESOME run tonite.. .the best run I've had in a long time..
started out with shin splints but it worked itself out really quick...
Gonna quote a book from my "Running for Dummies" from Flo Jo
Think positive thoughts... don't focus on where you are.. but where you want to be...

Still haven't decided on a goal for July yet... contemplating on trying to get in 60 miles again

was super duper strapped for time yesterday..
only had 15 mins or so to get my run in so I only got in 1.75 miles.. but at least it was better than nothing...
Still haven't decided on a July goal yet..
contemplating on trying to fit in 2 miles a day every day for the rest of the month... but not sure yet

ok... starting over new for september and this time, I WILL post in here each time I get my miles in...
For the month of September (or what's left of it), I've convinced DH to get in at LEAST 30 minutes every single day..
even if we're crawling on the treadmill.. just 30 minutes of at least walking...
so tonite, I got 2 miles in... took me 35 minutes at a "brisk pace"
will do this every day until Europe
Also I've decided to tally up the total calories burned as well..
and at the end of the month, see exactly what I've burned off
THAT should be interesting

Take it easy day for me but that's ok... couple of miles is better than no miles at all...
jacked up the incline to 4% to compensate for lack of running to increase calories burnt...
