Tomorrow is the Day

Tomorrow will be the first 5k that I will do this year.  I'm highly nervous about this process.  I've worked out every single day this week.  It has been a mixture of running/walking and Jillian Michael's Yoga Meltdown. I'm still having some leg pain which makes me very anxious about actually doing it tomorrow.  Shelly has decided to do it with Susan and I.  I know that Susan is expecting to do a mix of running and walking but I really don't know how much running I will feasibly be able to do.  I am still healing from that twisted ankle and that has my shin splints acting up something fierce.

I have not had the sever pain in my lower calf since the run on Tuesday so the stretches are helping out a lot.  My black Nikes are being retired after today.  I did my work mile in them and could feel the pain starting to creep up on my right leg.  Wrapping the ankle really helped and I think my New Balances will be the best thing to do the race tomorrow.  I keep going in between being super excited and this dread that I am going to hurt something major.  Here's hoping that it all works out ok and nothing goes pop on race day.

I'm still not showing any good movement on the scale which has been kind of down in the dumps this week.  However, I feel a big difference in some of my clothes which is what all the experts say to look at.  I haven't done measurements this week like I was hoping to because of scheduling and not really wanting to do it lol.  I might just save the measurement tracking until I hit the working out a month spot.  For right now, here are some pictures to help me see that there has been some loss.

The bottom picture is actually a screenshot from my instagram from the first day I worked out.  The other was taken today.  I'm not smiling in either one mainly because I wanted to make sure my face kind of looked the same in both pictures.  So there's a bit of a difference but I'm working up toward a bigger one.
