I will warn you that this is a bit boring because there isn’t as much E as there should be.
It was a tough week for me. I have to find a balance between recognizing that I am still new to this and I need to take it slow but also making sure that I push myself enough to get better each week. I found a lot a difficulty with breathing this week and my shins hurt a lot. I spent a lot of time this week wondering what I have gotten myself into. Doing this vlog and sharing my experience with others is actually keeping me to it. I also really appreciate all the encouragement and kind comments I have gotten on this blog, it has really motivated me. I also have to give a very big shout out to my running buddy, E, who is an optimist and keeps telling me it’s going to get easier.
In reference to the vlog: I have no idea what the hell I am talking about during our ride in the car. I had a really tough run that night so I think I was delirious. I will note that I don’t edit or retake anything on the vlog. I do some minimal editing to the ends of each part only so that they transition “smoothly”, I use that term loosely. I still have no good video editing program so I am currently using the very basic editing thing Flip offers.


it’s totally hard, but it will totally get easier. proud of you for sticking through it!
Jess– keep it going! You’re doing a really good thing.
If your shins continue to hurt, you may want to get some advice on your running shoes.
