I currently can't run because of my shins. They have been hurting really bad and I haven't been able to run on them, so instead I've been cross training which is not my favorite thing to do so hopefully I will be running again soon!

I attempted to do a little bit of running today but it was still pretty painful. I used the spin bike for 10 minutes then I ran for 5 minutes. I did that twice my shin still hurt really bad. I have region in Albuquerque on Saturday. I know I can suck it up and ignore the pain for the race but I just wish it would get better and I could run consistently

I warmed up on the bike for 20 minutes then I ran 1 mile. My shin hurt but I was able to run on it. The more I raised the incline on the treadmill the less it hurt so I had it inclined to 4% Then I biked for 20 more minutes and ran another mile. then I lifted weights for just over an hour. After that I biked for 10 more minutes and then did some stretching

Today I warmed up on the bike for 20 minutes and then I ran 2 miles. It took me 17:15. My shin still hurt but wasn't as bad as yesterday which is encouraging. After the run I did a few weights and stretched for a while. My shins are hurting less and less each day hopefully they will be completely better soon. I have region this weekend and I hope I can qualify for nationals.

Today was region in Albuquerque, NM. My race wasn't till 1 so around 9 I went for a short shake out run. I just ran around the block by our hotel a few times. It was probably just over a half mile it took me 5 minutes. Later when I warmed up for the race I ran out on the course a little ways and then back. The course was more of a trail sort of like Jordan River Trail, so I wasn't sure what kind of shoes to wear. We asked some of our friends from NM and they said that most people wear flats so I went with flats. Before the race I only had time to do 1 stride. The stride really made my shin hurt which made me pretty nervous but I just tried to ignore it. The race started and I got a good start. There was a pack of about 15 or more girls a little bit ahead of me about a 400 into the race so I moved up to the pack and then started to move through it. I kept moving till about a mile into the race and then I settled into a pace and stayed there the rest of the race. I ended up being 12th and my time was 20:59. I was happy with the race, and I'm glad I qualified for nationals. I could definetely tell that my fitness isn't as good as it was a few weeks ago and I think once I can get my fitness back up I can bring my tiems back down. After the race I did a short cooldown with Danielle. My shins felt pretty good they still hurt though but I don't think I made them worse by running.

I am sore from the race yesterday which just goes to show how out of shape I am... 20 minutes warm-up on the bike, then I tried to run but my shin hurt too much and I couldn't run without limping so I decided not to do any running today, but I did do 20 minutes on the elliptical and then 20 more minutes on the bike. After that I did some stretching and a bit of weights and core work. Hopefully my shin will be feeling good enough to do a little bit of running tomorrow.

Today I biked 15 minutes. Then I ran a mile on the treadmill. Then I did the elliptical for 15 minutes. Then I went for a run outside. It took me 13 minutes and was about a mile and a half. My shin stopped hurting after about 10 minutes of running so maybe I haven't been running long enough to warm my shin up. After the run I stretched and did an hour of weights.

Today I started by going for a run outside. I just ran through the neighborhoods and did just over 4 miles. It took me 36:34. My shin warmed up after about 10 to 15 minutes again. After the run I stretched and iced. Then I did an hour of weights and biked for 10 minutes

Today I went for the same run as yesterday but I added a lap at the track so it would be and even 4.5. My shin didn't really warm up today, it hurt the whole time so I think I'll take tomorrow off. After the run I stretched and did a few weights.

I pool ran for 30 minutes then I did some weights. My shin hurt but not too bad hopefully tomorrow I can go for a short run.
