Sucked today again. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of the weather it is RIDICULOUS.  Today's weather was especially terrible - SNOW on the ground when I got up, pouring rain, amazing wind, hail, etc. etc. ETC. today.  First weekend in a LONG time that I haven't got in at least 1 run outside, which is really depressing because I am soooo tired of the treadmill and I swear its giving me shin splints.

So 3 miles walking earlier, then painted a room, then decided to try and run a little (though it was already 9:30pm), ran about 1.2 miles and shins were killing me so walked some at 8.5% incline and then rounded the walk out to 2.4.  Not a very productive day.

I decided today though that I need to plan out my workouts for the week (not just the mileage) so maybe I'll be more accountable.  We'll see how it works out.

Monday - 5 miles - speed workout

Tuesday - 4 miles - easy; 90 minute hot yoga

Wednesday - 4 miles - 1 tempo; 90 minute power yoga

Thursday - 3ish - whatever I can get in in the morning - then VEGAS

Friday - I'll probably do the long run on Friday this weekend since I'll be in VEGAS!
