Day 117 general run

R4.mphx2min/W3mphx2, 45 min, 2.4miles

Its official, running the short weekly runs is worse than the long slow runs, and I say that even tho we had a not-so-good long run this past weekend. tried to do the same routine which I have been doing for the past one month and again had the shinsplints after 20 min of the R/W. Its surprising that I dont get these when I am running outside-I hope I havent spoken too soon!!

Havent lost any weight, but have noticed that feel better the days I eat conciously and avoid processed foods- more awake and energetic.

Walk 50 min tomorrow. have to push myself to do free weights, I always miss that part of the plan. Its amazing how I know that I have to do free weights for allaround fitness, and it takes only 15 min 2 times a week, but still I just dont make the effort to be regular with them. Maybe one day something will click and i will do them regularly.
