Since I can't run for a week a two (stupid shin splints!) I have set up my bike on the indoor trainer. Yesterday I rode it for an hour, OMG so boring!!!!! even with the TV on, I couldn't wait to get off.
What am I going to do?!? I have two more hours to complete on my bike this week, and I'm dreading every minute of it!!!

Shin splints.....ugh
Last year I bought these new fancy running shoes and after about 2 weeks of running in them, I ended up getting HORRIBLE shin splints where I couldnt even waslk on my ankle. It left me with 3 months of NO running, which sucked.
So this past week was FREEZING cold, and when I was running my ankle (the other ankle from my injury last year) started bothering me, but more like I a pain that I had just twisted it or because it was stiff from the cold. About half way through my run it felt fine.
Yesterday I ran again in FREEZING temps. My ankle started fine, but at the end felt like i had lightly twisted it. then last night when I was getting out of the car I had whaked it on the corner of my car door. Today my shin/ankle THROBS! I dont knos if its the start of another shin splint or a bruise from the car door. To play it safe I am going to lay off the running for the week.
I am devastated because this was a goal of mine to run 20K. But to make up for that since Ive already run 5km this week, I am going to spend 3-4 hours on my bike. this will make up for my running goal this week
so my updated goals are
run - 5km - COMPLETED
bike - 3 1/2 hours total
abs
pushup
triceps
vitamins
and track WW points
I hope this is just a bruise and not a shin splint....

week in review 1/17 to 1/24
Well it's Friday.....TGIF!!!
For only having work 4 days this week, it sure did feel like a full week and then some! This week was sunny, but brutally cold and miserable. The day times highs were in the teens and the wind chills were in the single digits or even worse the negatives!
I am however proud of myself for as easy as it is to stay inside and sit by a fire in my cozy clothes and fantasize about being skinny on pinterest I did get out and complete all of my runs to achieve my weekly running goals. As for eating I think I definitely at better than i did last week. I'm still feeling slightly sick, but no longer have that post nasal drip/constant hunger feeling. I tracked all my food and did not go over my weekly extras and my earned activity points. I am also very proud that since I have been doing this i have completed my daily ab/push up/triceps exercises. This is the first time ever that I have kept something like that up. here were my goals for last week....
- run 20km - COMPLETE
- do 100 ab exercises daily - COMPLETE
- do 10 push ups daily - COMPLETE
- do 10 triceps dips daily - COMPLETE
- take all vitamins daily - COMPLETE
- track all food and do not go over my weekly and earned activity points for the week - COMPLETE
Money earned towards iPad for the week from completing goals - $25
as for my weight. I do weigh myself daily and I am happy and sad at the same time. As of last weekend I was down 2.4 pounds I pretty much ate the same and worked out the same for the remaining part of the week but my weight crept up, but I am happy that it is lower than it was last week
Money towards iPad from weight loss - $0

Dont make me go....
Running in this cold frigid windy weather!!!!
How do i get myself motivated to go running in this weather. It is in fact a sunny day with a fresh dusting of snow on the ground, but its so cold, and windy.
Normally I don't think of running anything less than a 5km. But Saturday I was running with my boyfriends 7month old lab (who is a HORRIBLE runner!) so our run ended short at a 3km. which leave me with just 7 more Km to run to reach my goal. My intentions this week were to go over my goal, but now with this weather I am thinking of running a 3km today and a 4km on Thursday (maybe 5 Thursday if the weather is better)
UUUGGGHHHH I'm dreading it!
