This morning I woke up and just had one thing on my mind…I WANT TO GO RUN!

First I fueled up with 1 scoop of Chocolate LMM

Before heading to the park I downloaded a free trial of Jobstats on my phone. My run was so bad! My legs were so tired and my shins were in pain and my heart rate was so high! My plan was to run 4.3 miles but I only managed to do 2.6 miles in 30 minutes. I don’t know what was wrong with me today, I felt so discouraged! I should mention that the park I run in is Forest HILLS! lol what was I thinking?

I have a question…what do you guys use to track your pace and distance when you are running? I really liked the program that I used oh my phone but I am not too fond of carrying my phone while I am running and I can’t use my itouch because I don’t have Wifi in the park. I have been using Mapmyrun.com but today I realized that it was off by .2 miles….which is not a lot but I am so neurotic about things lol. Also, what do you do for shin pain?

After my run, I came home and had some Kashi Oatmeal with PB and Dried Fruit and my usual Cafe con Leche…

For Lunch I ordered some Tex-Mex food but I was let down…I had Black Beans with Rice, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Tortilla, and Guacamole…I also ordered Shrimp and assumed they were grilled but instead they were fried and just tasted FO! Don’t get me wrong, I love fried shrimp, I just didn’t love THIS fried shrimp.
