1/30 Sunday... went to the gym, walked for .75 miles for warm up, jogged 1 mile at 4.5 mph, then changed laundry loads and went back to the treadmill...ran 2 more miles at 4.5 mph, then cooled down for 15 minutes at 3.0... both warm up and cool down included 5-10 minutes of incline at 3.0-4.0, felt good, middle mile felt best... rt. shin hurt a bit, but not too bad on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 2-3...

1/28 Friday... went to the gym, walked for .75 miles for warm up, jogged 2 miles in 26 m 30 s, and then walked close to 1.25 miles as a cool down, with part of both of the walks being uphill at 3.0-3.5 incline.  Felt good... though a 2 mile run doesn't get to that "easier place"... so it is like 25 minutes left, 24 minutes left, ugh... next run Sunday...

1/25 Tuesday... hard day at work, didn't eat soon enough before running and then drank 16 oz of water right before I started jogging... so I got a bad cramp and had to just jog through it... and my leg hurt a bit (rt shin), but I just kept saying, mental game, keep going)
Started with 15 minute, uphill walking warm up. 2 miles at 4.5 mph on level ground...fighting for it...25 minutes of walking for cool down... with some stretching in between before full cool down.  Then waited for the bus for 28 minutes. boo.  Forgot to ice, icing now...took an ibuprofen...

1/23 Sunday - Had an inspiring talk with my brother... need to step up my running a bit here... goal: not being injured...so this week I'm going to try to do that...Tues(2m), Thurs(2m), Sat(2m or more), Sun (elliptical or running)...

1/23 Sunday - 90 minutes of elliptical machining... 33 minutes of "fat burn"... then 9 minutes of ellipticalling at manual, stopped to fill water bottle, then back on the machine for 55 minutes? I'm not sure... It was a lot... I saw at least an entire episode of tabatha's salon makeover and half of a housewives of atlanta/interview on cnn...cuz housewives sucks. and then 15 minutes of stretching...

1/15 - Saturday - 60 minutes of jogging at 4.5 mph... plus 10-15 minute warm up and 10 minute cool down... I finally got back that mysterious warming feeling in my legs that might be related to a "runner's high" of sorts.  It was funny to feel it, not pain, not really numb, just like, strong and energized...hmmm...  had to really fight for the last 10 minutes of the run.  Just kept telling myself it was mental and kept going.

Continuing my late in the year resolution!

1/9 Sunday - too long in between entries here, but I was in transit for 4 days and working for 2... so hopefully I can get back on track with a more regular schedule.  I went into the gym today after declining dinner with a friend knowing I should go exercise. So I went in, walked for 10 minutes (.5 mile), jogged for 60 minutes averaging a 4.1 mph pace, with a half a mile of it uphill... cooled down, now taking an ibuprofen, icing my shin in the hopes of avoiding worsening shin pain
