May 19 - 5K race! Official time 28:48, so 3.1 miles at 6.4 mph.
Days: 14/16
I unintentionally took three full days off from exercise this week (work blew up), but it seems to have yielded good results with the 5K yesterday - my time was way better than I expected! I really pushed myself, and I'm so happy with the result.
I walked for an hour today and it felt great (although I'm icing my leg now). If I get in my afternoon strength routine, I'll be at 1400 minutes for the month, out of 1600.

Steph: Thank you I'm glad to hear your walk felt good today. Probably a silly question, but are your shoes/inserts well fitted for how you walk/run? I've been feeling all kinds of little weird tweaks/pains in my legs and knees while running the past few weeks, in places where I wasn't having problems before, and I'm wondering if it's just that the inserts that correct for my overpronation are worn out and need to be replaced. Anyway, just a thought. I hope the PT helps your shin!!

I really meant for today's run to be a light recovery jog, but I'm not good at controlling my pace outside. Lungs felt fine, but body is definitely aching. I'll be off all exercise for at least the next week though so I really wanted to get something in today. Hoping to do some strength exercises tonight, but I'm so tired I'm not sure I'll have the energy.

Never thought I would get off the couch or computer.

I did my cardio mix today and then tried out a Pilates video on Netflix streaming, so that gets me to 1500 minutes for the month. I'll make my goal of 1600 in a couple of days, so I'll aim higher next month.
, but hopped back on and tray I walked 1.2 miles and did my ripped in 30.
