Ann Morrison Park + Greenbelt - 40:02

Legs a bit sore, but way better than the day after any of the previous half marathons/marathons I've done. Ran at about 10 a.m. It was warm already, but I was able to follow it with a nice dip in the pool.

Canal Banks - 38:40

Felt a little off today. Not much sleep last night and my shin was really sore again. I'm planning to have a pretty solid rest of the week and then just do a one week taper. With the days I've taken off here and there and the overall lower mileage, I don't think I need to taper more than that.

Biked to work and back - 30 minutes round trip

No run. Shin pretty sore and I caught up on some sleep with a big nap.

Not good news. I warmed up to do a workout, but the shin was just too sore. I limped along for 4.5 miles at just under 8 min pace and it wouldn't get any better. I have had a stress fracture once and it felt a little bit like this. Hopefully it's just tissue damage near the bone. The pain shoots up and down my leg and weakens it to the point where it feels like it might buckle. Most days aren't this bad.

I think my new game plan for the marathon on the 31st is to try to x-train and maybe jog a few minutes a day and see if that will get me to the line.

Elyptical - 10 minutes

Treadmill - 15 minutes slow. No improvement. Probably shouldn't have done anything at all. I think the next few days I'll take completely off (hate to do it so close to a race but no alternative).
