Treadmill at Gold's - 40:33
Started out super easy and picked it up just a little. Shin started hurting part way in again, so I backed off the last few minutes. Other than that, not an eventful run. I did watch the Rose Bowl during the run. USC put the hurt on Penn St. Who didn't see that one coming?

Treadmill - 44:27
Ran easy on the treadmill at home. Took it very easy to protect the shin, which still ached a little but not to the point it inhibited my stride.
Weights, core & stretching - 25 minutes
Also hiked a couple of miles along the Snake River near Swan Falls with Emily and Leo.

Run home from South - 29:51
Took it easy another day. Shin is still a little sore, so I just kept it short and slow. Hopefully I'll be back at it in a day or two.

Kept it easy again. Shin is sore, but I'm sure it's not a stress fracture. Chilly afternoon, but as always, nice to be outside.

BK trails and campus - 24:09
Not a good run. I took five days off to try to heal up my shin, but it felt worse than than it did six days ago. Probably pointless to have taken the days off, but it was worth a try. Groins also sore (typical after days off).
Also walked about an hour with Leo and Emily on the greenbelt. | |

Canal Banks + BK Trails/track - 49:15
Just an easy run to try to get back into it. Shin was a little sore but not too bad. Last mile with Leo.
I'll try to ease back into it for the next week and make sure everything is healthy before I try to do anything fancy. | |

Canal Banks + neighborhoods - 50:52
Felt much better than yesterday. Kept about a 7:30 -7:40 pace until the last half mile (which I finished with Leo). Strange though...I feel completely out of shape with less than 2 weeks off. I was thinking about how it was in high school - I could go a couple of months over the winter without running and then run 30 second 200s the first day of practice. Now just a short layoff and I feel like I'm starting from scratch.

Ran with Mat from his new house. We went upstream from the DoubleTree and did a good amount of it on dirt. Pace was about 7:30-7:40 on the paved sections. Shin sore, but runable.

Easy easy jog with Leo in the mud. Shouldn't have run - irritated shin pretty bad and got no aerobic benefit. Need more time off from running & more x-training.

Tested to see what my bench press max is these days. I haven't lifted over 115lbs in months. I did 175 reasonably easy, but 185 would be tough right now.
