Still here....

and still working out!

I've been very busy at work and occupied with other things lately.
But a quick recap since last Wednesdsay:

I hurt my left shin running on the treadmill. It didn't help that I ran 5 miles the following day (even though it was outdoor).
And it definitely didn't help that I still ran the MS 5k on Friday. And I still went to the gym afterwards.
Sunday....went to church late. Had lunch and hung out watching football and reading the Sunday paper at the sleepy Zamora house. Hit the gym. I worked on legs avoided any lunging though). Cardio: elliptical for 40 min.
Monday - Hit the gym again. Did a little of everything. BTW...the leg is still hurting.
Cardio was on the elliptical for 35 min, set to do INTERVALS. Level: 7. Less impact on the bum leg.
Tuesday - Still limping, but I go to the gym to do arms and abs. I forgot to pack socks so....no cardio.

Today: I probably shouldn't have. Wait. Let me rephrase....I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE...
But I go for a run with Tim anyways. It was either that or the Kirkland Stairs of Hell with Jerome and his buddy. How can I NOT do anything when it's nice out still? I want to enjoy the cold sun while we still have it!
Well...I wouldn't have made it out to Kirkland in time so I opted for the run.
It hurt the first half mile...but I ran past the pain. It's when we got to 2.25 mile mark to turn around, that killed me.
We stopped to stretch a bit. Retie the shoes. And that's when the pain just started shooting up and down my left leg =/

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUCH!!!!

But, it's getting dark fast, so I run despite the pain. For 2.25 miles, my left shin is throbbing. Burning. Aching. We couldn't get back to campus fast enough!

4.53 aching miles.
TIME: 48:47
PACE: 10:45 min/mi
CALORIES BURNED: 452

Well....I ran off the bag of M&M's and roll of Rolo's I ate earlier. Horrible. =P

And I wonder why I can't get rid of my belly fat? *sigh*
DINNER: Left over chicken sotanghon sissy made the other night.
