| 15 miles with Kimmy and Smooth, at mile three my right shin started to hurt. I should have stopped but I didn't. I was in pain all day, I had my neighbor who is a PA look at it. He said he thinks I have very bad shin splints or that the tendon the flexes my foot is hurt. I can hardly walk and my shin is bright read and hot to the touch. |

| Went for a walk with my honey and grandson 1.25 miles into the walk
my grandson rubbed his eye with a hand that I had just put sun screen
on. His eye turned red and he started to cry. We had nothing to help
him out my husband tried to wipe it out with his T-shirt and that seemed
to help a little but he kept crying so I turned around and started
running home. As soon as I started running he stopped crying but I kept
running so I could get him home. When I got home my leg didn't hurt at
all. So I did something that may prove to be very dumb, but because I
hate to go to the doctor so much and my leg was feeling fine I called
and canceled my doctors appointment. I think it is just shin splints
and all the rest I have been giving it has really helped. I am going to
try and run three miles tomorrow and see how it goes. If it is
just shin splints my next question is where do I go from here. Clearly I
can't follow my old training schedule so what do I do?

| Ran 4.5 miles at 9:13 leg felt very good. I was afraid that this run would not go as well as it did pain wise. Really my leg just felt tight the whole run with very little pain. However I can really tell that I have taken three weeks off. I felt like I was going to die. It was just like when I first started running in 2005. I think I will try and run 10 miles tomorrow but I will stay close to home in case anything goes wrong.
Lifted for legs - did 4 minutes of walking lunged and squats. Then I did my regular leg routine. Yoga

| Very easy and slow miles really wanted to make 10 but at 6 my leg started to hurt again. It was not too bad but I think I am gun shy now and afraid to run with any pain. |

| Ran with Brenda today. I have been trying to get her to run with me for a long time now. She is training of St. George too. I this will be her first St. George but I think she had done 4 other marathon. I had a great time it is so much more fun to run with someone than to run alone. | |

| I drove to Orem, stayed with my mom and Kimmy. I wanted to run 16 miles, at mile 9.5 my leg started to hurt again out of nowhere. We had 3.5 miles to go just to get home. We played it safe and just walked those miles. By the end of the 13 miles my leg was really bothering me even though I had taken 800 mg of Advil. The drive home was the worse part I had a hard time keeping pressure on the gas petal. When I was almost home I remembered that I had cruse control silly me! I iced my leg all day and today (Sunday) it feels a lot better. I do have to say that the best part of the run was the 3.5 mile walk with Kim. We laughed and talked like we used to when we didn't care about our times. I know that I am very competitive and not keeping track of my times will be hard but that is what I am going to do from now on. I have been to Boston twice and if I never go back I am totally OK with that. Starting Monday I run for fun and fun only. That doesn't mean I wont push myself because, seeing how good you can be is fun. I just don't care any more how fast I am and if I don't meet a time goal I won't beat myself up over it (how fun is that!!!!) I am also going to start to go back to my spinning classes. I have always loved spinning but I have cut back only going once a week so I can run more. I am now going to run 3-5 miles before spin and then go to class at lease 3 times a week. If I am slower, so be it I will be happier!!! (Yea me!!!!) I have also decided to only run a few more marathons. If I get into Boston this year I will run it again. I will run St. George until 2014 when I get into the 10 year club. After that I think I will run a half marathons several times a year until I die or can't run anymore. This is my plan for now and my main goal for St. George this year has gone from 3:45 to having a blast!!!!! I am so looking forward to trying to reach this goal!!!! If you see some slow runner with a smile on their face it is most likely to be ME!!!!!
