Woke up this morning not really wanting to go for a run!  I was tired and unmotivated.  But I couldn't feel good about my day without doing my run.  I ate my oatmeal and headed out. 

 I HATE the first 2 1/2 miles!!! They are hell for me.  I was not having a very good first few miles and was thinking about cutting it short.  I walked for a minute got a drink and than poured cold water down my back and on my legs.  That felt awesome!!  From there I got the rest of my run in.  5 miles!!!  I was really happy about it and the best thing about it was that the last mile I felt awesome!!!  

I feel like I am getting to where I was right before I got my injury and that was all I was hoping for this summer.  I have no time goals I just want to get back to where I was.  The only thing is my shin is starting to hurt again!  I am not quite sure what to make of it!  It doesn't hurt when I run, only after.  I think it stems from the pain that is on the top of my ankle.  Like it is the tendon.  Does any one have any thoughts about a sore tendon that runs from the front of your shin down to your ankle?

I often feel like I don't want to run when I get up in the morning. Good job getting out and doing it.

I wish I had some advice for you regarding the shin pain, but I don't. I guess just don't try to come back too fast. Take it easy and see if you can keep the pain at bay.

Carolyn- thanks for the advice. I wish I could just get over this and not have to worry about it.
