I bought new shoes today thinking that the reason for my shin splints might be old shoes, and they didn't go away with the new shoes, but they definitely weren't as bad as yesterday. Today was a tempo run day, so I did a three mile warm up, then a four mile tempo run at about six minute mile pace, then a three mile cool down. I felt really good about this run. I'm trying to train my mind to run fast. The spirit definitely is willing, but the flesh is still a little weak, and only time will fix that. |
