why muscles?

Thanks to everyone who writes support. I really look forward to reading the comments. Since I was so proud of myself I expect everyone else to be also and it is never old to hear how good I am doing.  Especially on days unlike today when I feel horrible.  Thanks

So I thought that I would be able to go out with no problem and run the 3 miles straight again.  Well, I did run the 3 miles again today and I found it refreshing and fun and at times reflective.  However, it was not as easy as Friday.  I guess, for some reason, my muscles think they have aa say in how I feel.  So about 1 mile into the run my shins started in again.  BUT, this time I know that after a few days of 3 milers they will become accustom to the torture.  They dont hurt much after the run.  The bummer about today was that it took me longer.  I went 3 miles and it took me right up to 1hour.  I am so glad for good friends who are helping me with the children.  I really cant do the run with kids.  So my buddies watched the children while I ran.  It was great.  Really, there is something to be said for running by yourself and listening to a book and looking at the wonderful creations around.  I did enjoy this run today.  Here is another great thing.....I was not out of breathe when I finished.  I was definitely breathing harder but I wasn't feeling like I was going to pass out at the end.  I like that feeling!  The program states that every other day I do the 3 milers and on the off days I cross train (xt).  I have not put together a good xt routine so I think I will run easier on the off days unless it starts hurting.  At that point I will take the necessary days off.  All the running advice I have seen is that you need to listen to your body.  You should not go with the old school advice of running through the pain.  It is important to get the rest you need and take care of your body.  So tomorrow I will walk/slow run a mile or so but I wont do another long run til Wed. Any ideas on how to shield my face?  My head sweats bad and so a hat is kind of out of the question but sunglasses fog up...the sun is really in my face and hurts my eyes.  It also makes me look down instead of out.  This makes your body pull down instead of forward.  Any ideas will be helpful!

Bye

I am trying to put my jewelry up so people can see and buy items but I am not computer savvy and have been having issues.  Soon I promise.  I went online today and found that airline tickets have gone down almost $200.  I am so happy for the little miracles that are making this possible..BYE
