So after taking a very long 7 day break from running, I finally was able to go today.  It was pretty cold out, and snow very lightly on and off, but I am glad I went.  I  am not sure if I have a pulled muscle or it's shin splints, but I was limping around last week, and when I tried to run on Tues, I had to turn around after 1/2 mile.  I decided then I had better take some more time off to heal.  I did take ibuprofen before today's run, just to make sure it wouldn't hurt too bad. Yea! It was really hard for me not to run, because I feel like I am finally committed to something, I have ran consistently since March 1, and hopefully I can keep on going!!

Once again took time off, but finally went today. Weather was actually perfect, except for the red air quality day! Hopefully the good outweighs the bad!!!! Anyway, still have pain in my shin area, it feels like my bone is bruised. I did the heel & toe walking like allie suggested at the end of my run, and now I am going to soak in ice water like my brother suggested!

Boring TM run, but much needed! Leg still hurts, so trying to take it easy.  On all of my off days, I have been doing a little regimen of 100 sit ups, 2(30) sec. planks, and 10 push ups.

Finally nice clean air, cause I am in St. George!! I have been looking forward to coming down here to run a really nice loop around the river not too far from my parents house.  I felt pretty good, however, since I am still getting over bronchitis, I definantley didn't have as much lung capacity as I would have liked.  Weather was gorgeous!!

Still in St. George, nice weather again today, lungs felt better, but my right leg didn't!! Oh well, slow is better than nothing.  Ran a nice little loop around the high school, and along some dirt paths. Felt good to breathe clean air!

Heading for home today, so had to do one more river run before I left. Legs were a little sore, but air was nice, a little chilly, and I probably was a little over ambitious, but I powered through, glad I did.  Boo SLC air, not excited about running inside on my TM!
