I have officially worn myself out

Man. After a week of working out every day except Friday, and twice on Wednesday, my legs are so done with me. I ran/walked yesterday afternoon, about 4 miles in an hour. Not my best time, but I don't know exactly how far I went either. I had measured the route on my bike, but as it turns out my bike computer measures slow. Like, if I'm going 15 mph, it thinks I'm going 13 mph. It thought the route that I walked/ran today was about 3.5 miles, so 4 actual miles is a pretty good guess. Whatever the mileage, my calves are not happy about it right now. I love the running form I'm using because it doesn't hurt my knees, but it's hell on the calves...at least until I've built them up a bit. Overall, though, I'm happy with my running progress.

I alternated walking and running every other song yesterday, after the first mile or so. It would have been sooner than that, but Minnie's battery life indicator was being temperamental. She turned herself off 3 times in the first 5 minutes because of "low battery", despite being fully charged. I've read that this has something to do with the battery charge not registering correctly until the hard drive spins up fully, especially after long idle times...the problem being, the ipod shuts itself off before the hard drive can spin up enough to tell the battery life trigger that it's full. But usually I can just turn it on, let it die, then wait about a minute and turn it on again. Yesterday was the exception to the rule. I suspect that Minnie's been dropped on her head too many times. That's why I don't just call Apple and demand that they fix it. :)

ANYway, I'm debating now whether I should work out today. Between the spinning class Saturday (which was awesome, though I couldn't get my new cleats snapped into the pedals. Even using the toe baskets, though, the class was better with the stiffer shoes) and the running yesterday, my legs are unenthused by the prospect. And I'm super tired and crabby besides, so I may just go home and go to bed. Yeesh, I'm so romantic. Happy 1st married Valentine's Day, sweethe---zzzzz.
