Well tonight was AMAZING! I met my PT and she is fantastic. Has applied to the military before, has kids, etc so gets where I'm coming from. I told her about my shin splints, so she assessed me then told me to get on the treadmill and gradually increase the rate until it started to twinge then stop.
I ran double the distance I've ever done, and no pain .
So having the last 4 days off has obviously helped, plus running on a treadmill is easier than in snow

I'm also hoping that I don't have proper shin splints either as I stopped as soon as I felt some pain.
So after that we did weight lifting and resistance training for an hour and she had to up all my weights and reps as I did better than expected

So happy I had such a good workout. I'm addicted already! I came home really hyped up
So I'm going back tomorrow and Saturday, then another PT session on Monday.
My food for today....
Breakfast: fruit smoothie
snack: melon
lunch: sandwich
snack: pre workout protein shake
dinner: vegetable stirfry
Not a lot to eat today, but couldn't face eating more, I wasn't very hungry!
Dont feel like I've lost much for tomorrows weigh in. Will be happy with a pound though.
