I am in a distance block right now due to my weight and that is really frustrating. Any time I try to go up to 7 miles my shins start to hurt a lot. I think this is due to the extra weight I am carrying. This week I worked on strengthening them by doing more sprints and a couple of uphill jogs. I am hoping that it will help me break that 7 mile barrier.<br \/>\nOn Monday, I had AJ come along with me for a 5 mile walk. He is quite the walker himself. He is only two, but he can walk two miles on his own. I was quite impressed. His problem is he gets distracted way too easily. I almost thought he was part dog because he stopped and pointed at every fire hydrant on the way to point at it and say &#8220;Yellow.&#8221; Then when an ambulance came by he started to mimic it by going &#8220;wooowooowooo.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weeks to the Half: 10 Weight: 300 Longest Distance Run: 7 miles Well, the weight is coming down again which is good, but I am really not happy about all the yo-yoing.
