    I love the way your mileage keeps increasing, just a wee bit farther each day. Nice work!
    It sounds like you're new(ish) to running, occasional rest days & stretching will help with the shins. Be careful if you think you are feeling your heart though. You should never push yourself that hard. Sorry, I'll stop being a worry mommy now. :)

    Don't worry about your pace, you're running 5 miles! :) As your mileage increases, your running will eventually get easier & faster. Watch, one day soon you'll go out for a little 3 miler & think, "Wow- That was quick!" Then you'll realize how hard you used to think 3 miles was & feel like a superstar. (*)

    Completed the 1st half of the month just 1 minute over my time from last year. Coming off 4 months of recovery and little running, I am extremely pleased! Today will be a good walk to loosen up all that is so tight today!

    10/3: Easy 3
    10/4: "Long" run: 5.5
    10/6: Easy 3 plus 8 strides = 3.9
    10/7: 3.5: speedwork on dreadmill
    10/10: Easy 3
    10/11: 6 miles! Longest I've ever ran so far!

    Crap...I'm doing something wrong with the new forums, and my ticker isn't updating on here.

    So, that's 24.9 out of 70 mile goal!
