I think I’ve got this running thing figured out. I FINALLY got up to 5.6 miles! You have no idea how big an accomplishment that is for me, but that’s not where I was going with this…
Why didn’t someone tell me I had to REST every now and then? Well, I don’t mean that I’ve [...]

So let me explain what’s been going on. I took two weeks off from ANY and ALL training. Or was it three? No P90X, no weight training, no spinning, no running. I forgot why.
No, really, the reason is because I finished another round of P90X and after I ran my 6K, I decided it would [...]
So there hasn’t been much to write this time. I’m forced to take a break from running for maybe another week to let these shin splints heal. I’ll start back slowly and hopefully in the process, give my calves a chance to recover. I’m pretty sure there’s no such thing as complete recovery for my [...]

I know, dear blog, I haven’t updated in a while, but really! A lot has been happening! I promise from here on out to keep you posted!
So what’s been going on? I completed yet another round of P90X. Still not seeing the results I want to see, but geez! I am strong! I’ve seen some [...]
Yes, it’s been a while, but it’s also been a while since I’ve worked out. Technically, that is.
I’m just going to make this easy and start by saying that I finished 90 days of P90X. I didn’t see the results I wanted, however, I did feel much, much stronger, which came in handy for our [...]
Seriously. I don’t know how much more I can get sidelined with running. First it was shin splints, then what I think might be anterior compartment syndrome, then I go and drop a weight on my toe. Ouch. is. right.
I have honestly forgotten what week I’m suppposed to be on for my running training. I [...]
It’s week 6 in my P90X workout and week 4 of my running training and here’s what’s happening:
P90X - Going good so far. I’m not seeing any physical differences, really, but I am stronger. I continue to make improvements in that department. I’m just waiting for the physical results to catch up! I have [...]
I forgot to post about my run this past Monday. I’m still chugging along with P90X, but with my running, I feel like I’m taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
Monday was week 3, so it was 90 seconds of running followed by 90 seconds of recovery walking, then 3 minutes of running followed [...]

Today was my final day of week 2 running (really, it’s my 3rd week - I did week 1 twice!) and guess what I did? I ran barefoot. I did it to see if I could notice any difference in my calves and shins during running and there was no difference. I ended up with [...]
I’m really beginning to think I’m just not meant to be a runner.
See that picture? That’s my left leg. I’m pointing the camera down at it hopefully to show these knots on my outer shin. The arrows are pointing at them. This picture was taken immediately after running, but it goes away after a [...]
