A Day of Rest

I moved my strength training day to Thursday this week, which means that today is a rest day. Woot!

Josh and I had a few of the last $2 pints at the KBC after work

Rock it out

On Tuesday, I was convinced that my shin splints had returned. I had all the symptoms that I've had the previous four years I've battled the stupid things. But, after stretching the hell out of them Tuesday night and Monday afternoon, and switching back to my road shoes, I was able to run my scheduled 3.5-miler yesterday and I totally rocked it out. The report doesn't show pace, but I ran almost a mile-and-a-half in the 10:00-10:40 minute/mile range. Okay, it was downhill for a good portion of that stretch, but still. That's the fastest I've run for a distance longer than just sprinting across the street ever. This is pretty significant for me. Here's the report.

The only downside is that I'm now running in my road shoes. I didn't anticipate using them for another month, which means they're probably going to need to be replaced before the HM. These shoes have been discontinued and are rather difficult to find. I might have to consider moving to the newer model.

Suck, suck, suck!

What made today's run bad:

- the blister from yesterday
- socks that wouldn't stay up
- running later than usual due to an after-work haircut
- slight stomach ache
- dead battery on the 205
- the RETURN ON MY EFFING SHIN SPLINTS. What.the.hell.

I'm back to the slant board, Ibuprofen, ice, elevation routine which TOTALLY SUCKS.

This may mean I have to hit the gym tomorrow after work for some cross training on the elliptical machine in replace of my scheduled 3.5 mile run.

Bah.
