hard day on the tracks
I wanted a change of scenery today for our run. we went to a park near by and did the half mile circle 4 times. Actually I did it three and a half times and then did the part that is 1/4 mile another 4 times. It ended up equaling 2 miles. So I did 2 minutes running (in 1 minute segments) for every mile I walk/ran. I must say that for some reason my back and chest are killing me. After the run I bent over to stretch and felt the ....whatever in my back shot pain through my body. My shins and left ankle were hurting. Actually, my left foot felt like it was broken. it was hard to walk on and when I did walk on it it sent that searing pain into the whole foot. I looked really great walking out of the park limping. I am sure it was a sight. there were some pretty decent hills on this trail and so i felt like I really pushed hard and tried my best. However, after having said this I must say I am going back to being strict with the Jeff Galloway training program which I posted earlier. I am going to fell like I am not doing enough but i think I may be hurting myself trying to push harder than my body is willing to go. In two weeks the program gets kicked up a notch and it will become more intense but I will have a firm footing what I need. I guess someone who has trained over 170,000 people knows what he is talking about. I feel like this is a ridiculous goal to have set for myself and at other times feel like it is within my grasp. I dont know that i was expecting the roller coaster of emotions when I started this journey. I have heard that if you want to really be healthy and fit you need to work through all the reasons your not healthy and fit now. Well, I dont think I am doing that and so maybe i need to kick it up a notch myself and get my stuff together. If it is possible to work through that sort of thing yourself. A woman that I know (not very well) has offered to personally train me and I am terrified to call her. How silly is that ? She is everything everyone of us wants to be and I fear I can not live up to her expectations of what I can do. I am going to bite the bullet and call her tomorrow because I really need help and it truly is becoming more than I can do alone. So I put two ice packs on both shins and left them for 2 hours and it still didnt relieve the pain fully. It was a hard workout but well worth it I am sure.....bye

You should call your friend. A friend always makes you stick to your guns. Ultimately only you can decide what you will do, but having someone check up on you is never a bad thing. Do you watch biggest loser? You just can't make excuses. We all do for one reason or another, but if you want this bad enough you won't make excuses. Now don't ask me if I do all this, it is easier said than done, but I can give a good pep talk. I wish that you had been interested in running while we were there. I would have stopped by every day sometime and we could have run/walked together. I am missing great friends like you guys here in Colorado. Although I have made a runner friend, virtually my only friend here in 4 months. Hannah is making friends though and that is great! Enough of my jabber. Keep strong. We love you!
