Yes! Finally, I believe my shin splints are gone. I think I was just running too fast, so I slowed down, and now that I'm mostly used to running, at least for 5 minutes at a time, my shins don't hurt. This was a huge problem for me! I couldn't walk a mile around the office without getting shin splints. I eventually bought running sneakers, and new arch supports, and eventually, now my shins don't hurt anymore.
I'm still on week 5, Day 1 of C25K. I've been slacking, mostly because I don't like running at 5:30 am anymore; it's too dark, and creepy. I think my parents are going to give me their treadmill, but who knows when we'll be able to get it down to us. I feel so accomplished when I run, it's a great feeling. I feel like I'm working better. I still get winded, but I'm trying, I'm really trying. I usually can't finish that last 5 minutes of running, so I ran 3 minutes of it today. My goal is to do a marathon before I have kids, that's what I want to work up to. I'm hoping to do a few 5Ks and maybe 10K next year and I'll go from there.
I'm getting a little bit anxious about my WI on Friday. I don't know what to expect. I know what I hope for, but I don't know if the scale is going to fall quite as far down as I'd like. I tracked everything, and I still have a few APs left, which, again, is HUGE for me. I'm quite convinced the scale will go down, but we'll see. I feel better, and I think my stomach is shrinking, but we'll see.
On a side note: I finished my paper on Monday! Woo hoo! That was a whole 3 days before it was due! I never do that! And I had my first test of the semester yesterday, which was pretty good, but I know I didn't get an A, and I'm okay with that. I have another paper to do this weekend, which is why we aren't going up to PA for my inlaws get together, which I kind of feel bad, but I told the hubs to go without me, and he won't. He hates making the drive himself, which is understandable, but I feel bad for being the reason why he can't go. Oh well, marriage is about compromising, right?
I'll check in on Friday probably, and see how my WI went.. I'm nervous...
