Today was not my best workout.  I only managed 30 minutes.  My intention was to do the wii fit for an additional 30min but we all know about good intentions...
  Instead I came back home, got caught up in work stuff, ran to the airport to pick up a staff member, got caught up in more work and then had hall gov.
  But, I did accomplish my running homework tonight - we had to do .5miles and I got that in along with my stretching and my 2 opening laps.  We were supposed to run 1/2 mile (4 laps) in 5 minutes and I did it which means my time is getting much, much better.
  After my run I went back into the little room and did some stretching and weights on the mat.  Then I finished with regular arm weights in front of the mirror. I can see small changes starting to happen.  This week I moved up from the 5lb to the 6lb weights and my arms could feel the difference but I kept pushing through.  I also did one ab exercise before calling it a day.
  I didn't get a very good nights sleep last night - I slept for 8 hours (which is odd for me on a Sunday night) but it wasn't very restful and today I paid for it when I hit the gym.  I also noticed that during my run outside and my run today that I'm starting to get shin splints again so I'm going to talk to my instructor about that.  I haven't had then in over 2 years and I'm not sure why they are coming back.  And they don't hurt until I finish my run and start walking - I used to get them mid-run when I first started 3+ years ago.
  And I realized yesterday when I was running outside that I miss my old roomie/running partner.  I really enjoyed running with her because we'd talk while we ran which made the run go so much faster and really helped me pace and work on my breathing.  Although I am getting better with pacing myself when I run alone, it's still hard.
  5 weeks until our 5k.  Nervous but excited to see what my time ends up being.
