This is my third 50 hour work week in a row, and my first week of two-a-days at the gym, so it's been pretty rough on my body. My legs are still not recovered from that hill in my 5K a week and a half ago. I've struggled with shin issues since high school and thought I was ready for it, but clearly I was not.
So, all of that complaining was to say I only managed 1.5 miles walking/jogging yesterday before I had to stop from the pain. This weekend can not come soon enough. I'm so ready for a day to not leave my bed.
Have you been fitted for proper shoes? When I first really started running back in 2003, I ran 2 miles one day and my shins hurt SOOOOOO badly, I could barely walk for 2 weeks. I went to the doctor, who sent me to a running shoe store. They fitted me for shoes (after watching how I walked/ran on a treadmill), and I've never had shin issues since... the shoes were expensive (and I needed to add some more supportive inserts), but well worth the $. As I got stronger and more used to running, I was able to progress beyond needing the inserts, etc.0 -

Congrats! I'm from NYC and lived by Central Park right where mile 23 goes into it. I loved to go out and watch. And we could see the race from the windows at work two blocks from my apt. It's inspiring to watch.
Dave, thanks for posting those shin warmups. I get some shin splints once in a while, but it's a vast improvement since I got fitted for shoes.
3.2 miles today. Did a few intervals of running. Getting a massage tomorrow so she can fix any damage :bigsmile:

Walters - I love the pic. :laugh: :laugh: You are getting really close to your goal. Keep it up and you'll make it this weekend. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Took my bike in for a tune up. I finally wore out the cassette. At least I'm not breaking them like DCMAT. I didn't get stranded or have to walk my bike home. :laugh: :laugh: As long as I have to replace the cassette, I'm going to switch from a 28-11 to a 32-12. It's an older Trek so I've got a three gear front and a nine gear cassette. Going to the 32-12 should make it climb really well for things like Going to the Sun road. Then I'll use my Focus with a two gear front and a 10 gear cassette for touring. I'm excited to try it out. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
