This is a great race if you are ever in the area. First your run and then you and your family can walk around the zoo for free (just paid for the race). There weren't many animals out but it was still nice to be out and walking around after the race.

I got 3 side stitches. One on each side and one in the middle. They were all up in my diaphragm. My friend and I are both out of running shape so it worked out. We did well for the first 2 miles and ran walked the rest. I was getting some speed thought when I was running. My legs are ready!

Back squats 3 sets of 10 with I think I had 70#...I don't remember and I don't feel like going to the basement to look at this point!

and of course a dog walk (do walks are everyday!)

.75 dog walk

3 sets of 10 shoulder press 40#

1.5 mile run. This one felt better breathing wise. Thursday was filled with cramps. Today I did feel my achilles pull. So I'm wondering what to do. I have been walking in my merrells consistently for 7 months now. Now I want to run in them (and I did today). I don't want to go back to having an inflamed achilles and hurt IT band. Is there another shoe I can wear that is not as cushiony as my mizuno's?

I should also say that when I got those injuries I was wearing my cushy mizunos. So I know I don't want to go back to that.
