Well everyone, I think you'd be proud of me.
I just ran 6.25 miles.
On the treadmill.
It actually wasn't too bad. It wasn't my treadmill, thank God. There's no way on earth I could have run for 53 minutes on my own treadmill. But anyway, I did do it, and even have a blister to show for it.
With the blister thing, I know better. I have hiking socks, I should have running socks. Time to go to the store.
Treadmill run, 7mph, 0% incline, 53:31:97, 6.25 miles, 601 calories burned

I wish I could say today was a good day, but that's just not the case. I ate well, but no workout. I'm going to try and work out tonight, but today's situation just made the gym workout impossible.
Long story short, on Saturday we moved my mom to her own apartment. Today, there was an incident with her that caused her to have her drivers license taken away. My father-in-law ended up accusing us of not taking good care of her, and I was ended up a mental case all morning. Since I wasn't very useful at work anyway, I left, came home and spent the rest of the day with my mom.
The upside is that I ate fairly well. Here's my day's log:
B: 3/4 cup multigrain oatbran cereal, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup blueberries, breakfast burrito (1 egg, 1 Flat Out Light wrap): 348 calories
L: MetRx Big 100 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor protein bar, 1 apple: 421 calories
S: 1.5oz honey roasted peanuts: 250 calories
D: 5oz beef ribs, 1 cup romaine, 1tbsp regular ranch (was at my in-laws), 1 apple: 491 calories
Total: 1530 calories
I still have 180 calories or so I can eat. I'm saving it up to eat before & after cardio tonight. I will say this though, I'm not holding my breath for 600 calories today! Hehe.
Oh, one other thing. I was worried I might have a stress fracture, went to the doc today and he confirmed it's not that. Just a bit of a strain, so I have to take it a bit easy. Thing is, it doesn't hurt while exercising or walking, it only hurts when I put pressure on it. The upside there is that I don't have to take it easy exercising, since it's not putting more strain. :)
