Walk - Don't run

So I started out running a few months ago and LOVED it.  I totally hearted running.  I was working on a half marathon training plan with the idea to run my first ever half in the fall.  And then.....I suffered my first major injury.   I developed a stress fracture.

I had suffered and battled with shin splints when I first started running but had finally got them under control when the fracture happend.  So I ended up side-lined about a month ago. 

Since the injury, I have really been lazy when it comes to exercising.   Well a friend on Facebook decided to start a July Mile-A-Day challenge.  I decided to go for it, knowing I would have to walk but still. 

I have only missed one day, and that was the 2nd when we were out of town watching a baseball game.  I am so excited to be back exercising.   While I do hope to run again some day, I am going to try to focus on walking and regaining my focus on more healthy living.

I also have about 30 more pounds I want to lose.

I am really hoping to figure out a way to add some pictures to my blog.  I know there has to be a faster method then the way I know how to know.  As for now, I am at work though and have to be here until 8pm so picture posts will have to wait for another day.
