    Finally I'm up to three miles! The first mile was really hard though; my shins felt really stiff and my heart kept fluttering? I don't know how to describe it really.
    I love the way your mileage keeps increasing, just a wee bit farther each day. Nice work!
    It sounds like you're new(ish) to running, occasional rest days & stretching will help with the shins. Be careful if you think you are feeling your heart though. You should never push yourself that hard. Sorry, I'll stop being a worry mommy now. :)
    Thanks! I'm really new to running, before this month I've never ran more than a mile. I meant for the 7th to be a rest day but I got a bit antsy :# I made sure to do a more thorough warmup today and that really seemed to help, both with the shins and with my heart!

    Awesome job hitting 3 miles! If you are wearing a HR monitor keep an eye on where your HR is. You maybe pushing it too high and make sure you are breathing well and regularly. You may want to stop and stretch out your calves midway to help your shins feel better. As you hit that 3 miles more often it will get easier and easier and next thing you know you will be at 4 miles!
    Thanks! I think part of the reason I was having problems yesterday is because I didn't do a thorough warmup. I did one today and it felt a lot better. I'm really excited at the thought of running 4 miles! I want to be a marathon runner already haha

    With today's miles I'm at 36.8/50. I've got about 14 more miles to go! And can I say that my foam roller is the best thing ever. Whenever I feel like my muscles are getting tight and sore, I roll around on that baby and everything works out! ;)

    OK. Was doing this during late Spring and Summer. Mom passed in July and then marching band season hit us hard (I'm a band director). So Now, I'm back in. I'll start off with a light challenge as we continue the downhill side of marching band.... 20 mile goal for now.
    10/13/14: 1.5 miles - 18.5 to go.

    I am sorry about your mom. Welcome back and hope things are looking to return to somewhat normal for you.
