I have been off the wagon due to a sinus infection of a few weeks ago that legitimately had me down for a few weeks, and now still has me down because I lost the habit of working out frequently. But I'm here to recommit to you to get back on the horse. I went swimming once last week, and was impressed by my ability to swim repeated laps without inhaling any water.
My plan is to start C25K again next week. MWF I am going to get up early and re-start the C25K program from Day 1 Week 1 and work on my arms with weight training. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm going to swim and do legs and core with weight training. This week I plan on swimming at least 3 times, but no running for me this week. I may try to incorporate weight training as well this week just to get used to it, but we'll see how things go.
The shoes I wore yesterday to church put BLISTERS on my feet. Actual pus-filled blisters on the weight-bearing balls of my foot. You know, that part that you're supposed to run on. It has affected my gait already to the point that my left ankle feels all funny, and last thing I want to do is run funny on them and further screw up my ankles. Besides, it HURTS.
Sad face. :(

Day 32: Tibial Yuckiness
Yesterday I only ran/walked a mile because I suspected shin splints in my left leg. Still not sure if that is definitely the culprit of my pain, but it is beyond the normal soreness I would expect, so I decided to cool it.
I have become more aware of my body in general, especially during exercise. I could feel that muscle moving while I ran, and it was not pleasant. I walked more of it than I really wanted to, and still beat my mile pace. I don't know if I want to count this mile pace, though, because it does seem like the shorter the distance the faster my pace, and this is the shortest distance I have EVER run.
Still, though, even though my leg hurt mildly throughout the day, I was looking forward to going, and did it anyway, but in a "smart" way. If it still hurts on Monday, though, I'm going to do something other than running. Possibly yoga. I've been thinking about paying a personal trainer just for the next six weeks to help me get in shape for the 5K in July, and going to the gym and arranging that could also be a possibility.
PS: My abs are STILL sore from Thursday. I guess that's a good sign, but wow, I didn't even think I did that much!
The Workout:
Kiwanis Loop
