Shoulder still hurting, so we used bands & free weights and worked around the sore shoulder!

I am up to just over 1 mile in 25 minutes (2.5 mph), tomorrow trainer wants me to start 30 minutes and then begin an increase in speed by .1 mph, eventually getting to a jog/run.

Weight didn't change from last week BUT that's great considering I was travelling for 3 days this week, eating fast food & munching while we drove!  I figure, I lost what I gained!  Next weigh-in will tell!
