ran to the lake, around it, then across the 2nd long board walk. really beautiful day out. sunny and blue and all that jazz. pretty warm. got honked at by loads of geese. run felt pretty good.
knees hurt toward the end and the shin splint seems to not have gone away. but all the heel walks seem to be keeping it from being painful. really only noticeable if i put pressure on it. then feels like its bruised. I think overall, running is strengthening my knee because although it feels sore/off/occasionally a bit painful it is never as painful as it used to get.
time is +/- 45 sec due to forgetting to start and stop it at lights.
dist could be btw 4.7-4.8 miles.

C • Because I'm not a golden child. 2

usual routine:
5 min shoulder things
16 other type of shoulder things, R/L top and R/L bottom
other arm things
4 min grapevines/aerobicsy stuff from gym class warmups/ some stretches
3:45 of toe lifts and heel walks
then a very small # of abs, squats, and such.

walk from lake to my friends house. a bit of post running stretching.

i was a tarnished "golden child" last night by making chem study sheets for periodic trends, electron group/dot diagram/ vsper crap stuff, solubility rules.
have 3 out of 5 sections of notes done for the first class. WOOT.
tarnished because i stayed up too late because late at night is the only time i can do school work. or early morning (ie, 10:30... hahaha)
my circadian rhythm is gonna die on sunday night.
also made myself a schedule of classes and stuff and added to said schedule what time good gym classes are. my fave Zumba teacher is teaching 3x a week!!!! i miss it. and kickboxing. doing it on my own just doesnt cut it...
my goal is to plaster my bare walls w/ lovely study guides and O' control description keys and maps so its not so boring. granted, the study guides are pretty nerdy. but, i have to survive chem.
