Fitness update 3

It's been a long time since I last did a post. I am happy to say I kept up with the running for 2 months!Unfortunately I have had to stop these last tfour weeks due to a persistant pain in my calfs and major shin splints! From near the beginning my calfs hurt a lot whlst running and continued hurting during my daily activities. It meant I had a pain whilst walking up the stairs or a brisk walk to the bus stop! I thought it was just a little injury that I would be  able to run off but I am 100% sure running through it in these past 2 months made even worse. After thorough research online I decided to take a break this holiday and get new trainers! I was really annoyed at first when I realised the best thing I could do for myself would be to stop running as I had never really kept up with exercise for theis long, I was seeing differences in my body and was beating my running times every week! But I realise now its probably been the bets thing I have done for myself and I am determined to start again, and become fitter than when I started. Which leads to one of my new years resolutions.. run 5k at a decent time and do a charity run!
