Running Totals for 07 Jul 09

Well today was a pretty good day for running. My right leg was kinda bothering me which it almost feels like a shin splint but I hope it is not worse than that. I will just have to keep an eye on it and use plenty of Icy Hot to keep the pain away. I think when I get my new shin splint brace it should help quite a bit. But then again I hope that as I lose more weight it will relieve some of the pain also. Today I ran 7.13 miles, burned 1,340 calories, and I ran for 73 minutes. It is always tough getting into my runs but the second half always feels better and I want to keep running even though I need to get back to work. I am excited to start training for the Naha marathon in August. I think that should be quite the adventure. I also lifted weights for a little over an hour and I hope to make that a habit. Even though I hate lifting weights I need to make it a habit because it will help me prevent injuries. Well I love and miss everyone very much. Take care and I hope to talk to everyone very soon. Until next time...
