So I talked my sweet hubby into snow shoeing with me this morning, but when we got to the trail it was already so packed that we just ended up hiking for about five miles. I was still very stiff from the weight lifting :( but we had a pretty fun time. The temp thing in my car said it was 6 degrees. We felt OK until the wind kicked up at the end. 

My plan for the upcoming week it to work out on the eliptical instead of running :( Hoping that my shin will stop bugging. I go back to the Dr. in a week so if it's not better by then I guess we'll see what he thinks is happening.

Today was 5 miles on the eliptical... 50 minutes, boring but hopefully this is helping my shin :)

 

FYI - I was keeping track of my miles on an excel spreadsheet that I had made up before and after I joined the FRB, so in 07 I had a total of 1,322.97 miles. In 08 I had a total of 1,852.45, that is a difference of 529.48 miles :) I have to say I think it's pretty cool. I'm a bit sad that I didn't make it to 2,000 miles that would have been even better, maybe I should set that as my 09 goal - 2009 miles in 09 :)

An hour on the eliptical = a bit over 6 miles. Still rather boring :( I ran just a tiny bit on the track at the gym, shin hurt just a bit, felt a bit better then last week so maybe this is helping.

Had a horrible nights sleep. I don't know what is up this week but I'm really starting to feel the effects of my lousy sleep. I went to the doctor after work and he basically told me that I could run but if it started hurting, during or after my run to back off and cross train a bit more, then try running again in a few days. So I ran on the treadmil after my appointment, and it felt OK. I didn't want to do the eliptical so I was happy that for the most part my shin didn't hurt. I will continue to ice and stretch and all the things that I should have been doing anyway.

5 miles - 45:53

I had a massage today after work so I got to the gym rather late. I just did 4 miles on the eliptical, I wanted to run, but I thought I better not push my luck. I'm hoping my shin feels goo tomorrow and I will run outside, I hope to get 6-8 miles. Keep your finger crossed for me. I'm about to sacrifice my favorite running shorts, you know we all have one pair that make us feel good, and look cute on us, to the running Gods. Let's hope it dosen't come to that :)

Today's run was very hard, seemed like I had to put alot of effort into everything about it. I don't know if it's because I have been cross training quite a bit in the past two weeks, or if it's because it's the first road run I've had in the two weeks, or maybe the new thyroid meds. either way it felt very hard!!! I also have not been sleeping very well. I was hoping this year to do better at the WRC, to maybe even be in the top three of my age group, but I'm not feeling very hopful of that after this run, I guess I'll see what the next few weeks bring.
