Run, Ben. Run.

4-wheeling in PA for the day. Rode ~60 miles and was sore from holding onto the atv with my legs and some hard steering.

5.8

Softball game. Out at first once. One RBI the 2nd at bat. Errors in the field. Not my best. Shins were hurting a lot. At this point I’m pretty sure that it’s the sprints in my cleats that are hurting my shins and not the running with jogging shoes. I only have about 75 miles on my running shoes. They shouldn’t have been worn out yet. They were fitted to my feet when I bought them (video of my stride and all that when i bought them) and haven’t ever had any problems until i started doing softball.

Might try some gel inserts for them to see if that helps with the shins.

5.7

New running plan. Still get bad side aches but run through them for a bit until I can’t breath. Trying intervals again but with running at 5mph and then walking. The run feels more comfortable in pace but kicks my ass and makes it hard to breath.

Shins have been hurting though (as well as lower back). Need to get new shoes I’m thinking.

2 mile walk at Ivy Creek Natural Area. Took pictures - slow walking.

5.3

Montpelier Wine Festival. Spent most of the day walking around in the sun and drinking wine. Even got some sunburn.

5.1

Softball game. Sprinting from base to base. Got home this time. Batting average so far is 1.000. I can definitely feel that it’s a different type of running for a couple days afterwards though.

4.16

BodyPUMP class today. I don’t feel like going but I haven’t felt like exercising for about a month now. I still go but it’s a struggle. Doing it by myself has finally caught up with me and it’s just not enjoyable. Hopefully the class today will help a bit.

Rode stationary bike at ACAC in the afternoon. ~11 miles in about 30ish minutes. Kept HR at around 145bpm and pedals going about 75rpm.
