I ran roughly 40 minutes around the indoor track today. My new shoes, DS Trainer 14s, came today and I wanted to try them out while keeping it easy on my shins. Felt very good until I switched halfway through to my old shoes and my shins started hurting after about five minutes. I'm not sure if it was my shoes or just that point in my run. Felt very good compared to last week and I'm happy for that.

Yes. I ran only two miles today. Very bad. I wanted to stay on the indoor track so I went to lift weights for about 45 minutes until the track opened up. I started out with fatigued arms and my stomach started to act up at about 1.5 miles. I finished the second mile and hoped that being outside would help me feel better, but nope. I went back in and didn't want to run. Hah.

At least I ran and lifted...

6 miles in 45 minutes. That's a very good 7:31 minutes/mile pace.

This cold weather is depressing me. I know that I need to run and I keep telling myself that I will, but it's going to wait until this afternoon when it's as warm as it will get. What happened to the nice warm weather we had the other week?

 Edit: Wow, I have such awesome friends acquaintances. One of my friend's moms got conference tickets for her to take her friends to conference with, she invited me a week or two ago, and now I am sitting in my room while my roommate and a bunch of other people are going to conference. woot I am so loved. Oh, and to add to that, they are staying at my friend Avery's house tonight. I run with her every thursday, and thought we were friends, but I vividly remember being invited to come up some weekend to her house too. I am ready to leave BYU and go home. I cannot wait to leave these people.

To celebrate, I punished my body through a 6.69 mile run averaging 7:40. I was exhausted after simply 50 minutes of running and my knees hurt pretty bad. This is just not working.
