Today was Wednesday of Week 12 of the London Marathon's Beginner 24 week Training plan(Yay, half way!)

Jog for 10 mins, run for 10 mins, Jog for 30 mins(total time:50minutes)....
My shins were killing me today so it went more like walk 5 minutes(always before a run), jog 5, walk 5, jog 10, run 5, walk 5, jog 10. For a total of(not counting the walking) 40 minutes, which is not far off, but still not ideal.
However I have learned and bean widely warned that if a part of your body is really aching during a run, it's best to cut it short and not risk an injury.
I have also started a new fitness regime, previously I was doing 4 sets of 20 on each muscle group. doing abs, arms, and back one day and legs and butt the next about 4 days a week, but I wasn't seeing as much results as I'd like to. So I did some digging(mostly through the ever lovely pinterest) and found this guide:

I also find that Livestrong pops up nearly every time I look up something health related: how to preform a weight training exercise properly, excellent stretches for runners, bikers, and anyone in between, as well as surprisingly knowledgeable nutrition advice which promote holistic, natural, organic foods and remedies, which makes my hippy heart ever so happy.
