The program I am on is very clear about the need for rest days. Especially at the beginning when my legs are trying to figure out just what the hell I am doing to them. They need a day in-between to rejuvinate.
I felt so good after yesterday that I decided to go out this morning for a walk/jog, even though I wasn't supposed to. Now I understand why I need the day off. My legs were dead the whole time...my shin splints were bothering me again. Man does it suck being 40.
Today's lesson learned - Stick to the damn program! Tomorrow I am supposed to do a 4 mile jog/walk. Should be interesting.
Today: 6 minute warm-up walk - 20 minute walk/run - 5 minute cool down

- This blog is meant to serve as a record of my efforts and motivation to continue with them. The marathon is what I hope to achieve, but it also represents life, which is one race that we are all running...
