April, Week 1 -
total mileage:13.9 miles
ran:10.3 miles
walked:3.6 miles
3-31-14 Monday
I ran 1.4 miles today and afterwards, walked 1.2 miles. (After one of my longer/faster runs this weekend, I had a bout of Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (haha, forget the fancy name: also known as: the dreaded s h i n s p l i n t) and I wanted to make sure I had it back under control before doing any "serious running". So I took it a bit easier today so just ran 1 mile/8 minutes.
It was good to 'get back at it' after taking the weekend off of running. Excelsior!

Ran 2.5 miles today. :) It was really windy (gusts were averaging 23 mph!) rather chilly, and it wasn't the most ideal/enjoyable running weather. It was a bit more difficult doing my run today, maybe because I was running into a 23 mph wind...but anyway, I got the miles in, so...that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Today was my off-day from running. (Sadly, the weather today was much more running friendly than yesterday, so I think that my schedule should have been worked a bit differently... :) Since it was an off-day, for my workout regime I:
Walked 2.2 miles
50 Push Ups
30 Chair dips
200 reps of Ab Exercises
Even though I was just walking, I was thankfully that my shin-splint didn't flair up again - they're definitely not fun, I can tell you that...But, even after this week's running, le Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome was a-ok. :)

Ran 2.6 miles today ("one up-d" the scheduled 2.5 miles, haha)! It was a little nicer weather...not as nice as yesterday, but still runnable. ;) I ran a mile/8 minutes, so I'm going a bit faster than is required but, that's obviously, ok.
After my run I did 60 minutes of stretching. I used P90X's X Stretch "workout" video for my routine, today. It felt so good after a longer-ish run. :)
4-4-14 Friday
Off day from running, today. We were pretty busy, so I didn't have time to get a long walk in, but I did get in some "at home" reps.
200 reps of Ab exercises
50 pushups
Stretching
4-5-14 Saturday
Ran/walked 4 miles, today. :)) Le schedule called for a long(er), slow run, of 3.5 miles - 4 miles. It was beautiful outside today, so that made my run more...enjoyable. :) I ran the first 2 miles, then ran/walked the last 2 miles home. However, I think I did my "slow run" a little too fast...hm. When I checked my "stop watch" I did a mile/6 minutes. But, I am really excited to be "up-ing" my miles, and had a lot of fun today!

Happy April - keep on running!
First thoughts - that looks cold. Second thoughts - good for you! Third thought - Wisconsin is reeeaally ugly in early spring. ;)
