I actually did have a nice workout at the gym. I've been going to the gym for about a few months now, and while I've seen some benefits (resting heart rate has gone from about 110 to 85, lost some weight, and can lift weigh more) I wasn't making any progress in running. About a quarter mile in, I'd get an intense pain in my right leg even though I wasn't even breaking a sweat. Thought I was just out of shape, and it would get easier, and tried a few different plans and varying speeds etc, but it just wasn't working. Looked into it, and pretty sure I have shin splints. So, started doing the elliptical which is low impact, and can finally actually push myself a bit to the point where I'm out of breath and sweaty. I'll try the tread mill again when my leg has had a few weeks to heal up and hopefully I'll be a bit lighter by then which will decrease the impact.
