Well, my week was better at work, but still completely crazy because the store is getting closer and closer to opening and I don't have much help or support. I'm excited and terrified at the same time. I don't really feel like thinking about it right now

Shinsplints=bad news. Try walking instead of running for a while--running is horrible on your joints and bones. You pay for that shit when you're older, too...

word. shinsplints = bad.
The guy I buy shoes from (he's had his business for a while) tells me that he's been in the business long enough to see young runners turn into limping old people time and time again. he says for every mile you run, walk one. Also, I find that treadmils are especially bad for shins. Have you triend the EXF machine? It does the same motion as running without the heavy impact.

For some reason when I use the elliptical I feel as though I could fall over after five minutes. It's like I have no stamina. I've heard that it's a really good machine to use, so I should work on that and maybe alternating running and that.

I think part of my problem when I ran the other day was that normally when I get done I walk for at least ten minutes and I only walked for five. And maybe I didn't stretch good enough. I'll have to keep in mind the idea of walking for every mile that I run.
