So my husband informed me that I am running wrong. I basically land flat on my foot, and my heel touches everytime my foot hits the ground. So he told me I am supposed to practice running on my toes so more of the ball of my foot touches the ground and not my heel. HOW in the world do I make THAT feel natural??  

ran

101 lunges

150 sit ups/ crunches....which is way good for me :)

 

oh and my garmin is off by a day, how do I fix that?

It's concious running and he is right. It is hard to break those habits. That's why a lot of people push trying to run barefooted some, each day. When we run barefoot they have proved our running form tends to automatically improve. The body will try to prevent heel striking in order to protect the joints from getting hurt.

Wow Lily. When did you get so smart.
