Happy New Year!

So here we are 2012! I have alot of plans for this year, will I make them happen????

So in 2012 I would like to accomplish these tasks!
1) Wear and Fit into XL T-Shirts (went from 3XL to 2XL so far)
2) Finish Tough Mudder (Sunday, March 17th 2012)
3) Run 15 Miles without walking (currently at 4 miles)
4) Walk into a store and purchase jeans (AE only Carries up to size 38 in stores, currently 42)
5) Stay Determined and Motivated


Well its been awhile since my last update. The 5 goals above I am hoping to accomplish this year!

I have had a minor setback in running. For the past 2 weeks I have felt a slight pain in the side of my left knee to mid shin... Instead of getting it looked at I did what the inner athlete does "FIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN" I mean come on I have a race in 2 months that I have to get ready for!!!  But it finally was so bad that it hurt to walk let alone run. So went into the Dr. He told me that i almost ran myself into a fracture... Its right before a fracture he said. I am now on some meds to make the swelling go down and if I am not better in 2 weeks I have to go back in for an X-Ray... Great 2 weeks of no running! I was doing so good I told the Dr. he then told me its a case of too much too soon... My body was not used to running at all so going from walking/jogging to 4 miles put alot of strain on my shins/knees and ankles. After 2 weeks I can start to run again but only a mile to half mile at a time. Once I feel any pain I have to stop... Once I reach 3-4 miles again with NO pain on a treadmill he said then I can go back to running outside. I have to avoid hills until then.

Oh well I must learn to walk before I run I suppose...It just gets discouraging. I feel like I am at the Dr. more now than when I was just eating what I want and sitting on my arse! This getting into shape thing hurts haha.

Well more later
