yeah yeah yeah, I know. It's been over a week since I have done ANYTHING...except pack, make it home, unpack, separate the kids into their own room, set up our room with a new bed and frame, and gotten the kids to and from camp everyday. BUT we also joined the Y!! SO today, I got to the gym and ran on a treadmill. I am a little sad to not be out in the nice weather, but here the weather SUCKS! I would seriously have to run in the middle of the night... and even then, gross. heh.
So, I ran. On a treadmill. I walked for 5 minutes as a warm up and then ran 2 13 minute miles (walking for 2 minutes in between the miles.) SO it's progress, and considering I haven't run since last Tuesday, I think it's pretty good that I didn't die. heh. I didn't even feel like I was going to pas out. AND I did random hills. Now, none were as steep as the hills I was ACTUALLY running in the mountains, but still. So my next goal is to get through 25+ minutes without stopping to walk. I think I can do it. I think I could have done it today, but chickened out. I DID get new shoes before leaving the mountains. Wahoo! So far, no shin splints. But I REALLY think that it was all due to walking down hill with a little on my shoulders that gave me the shin splints.
Anyway, onward and upward!!!
