So today I ran on the roads around my work. It is light enough now that I can get a run in as long as I'm not held up at work. It felt pretty good, can't say I really like all the traffic. I think I might try to run on the parkway, but it was pretty good. Shin's felt OK I'm icing them as I type.

Went to the endro dr. and he says that I'm hyper, but not by much so I told him to let me be and see if things adjust because I'm finally feeling better. 

Ran on the treadmil for 5, shin was buggin' a bit more then yesterday, but it was also the first time I ran with out it wrapped. Been trying to find some kind of compression thing for my calve so I don't have to wrap it all the time, because it bothers me a bit. Anyway not bad all in all I'm happy with my progress.

Well I Ran the parkway tonight, but when I started my garmin it somehow didn't get a a satalite so all it did was time me. Duh!! I parked in the parking lot of Peak Performance running store, owed by Anthony Gallegos, one of the nicest people you would want to know. Any way he told me that the mileage was about 5.4 miles because he had run it earlier this week with his garmin. He aslo let me borrow his calf compression sleeve, it's just like the ones that I orded, it helped quite a bit with my calf. :) 

5.4 miles - 49:22

So today I thought it would be a good run... but somewhere it turned into a crappy one. It wasn't my shins as much as my calves. They were painfully tight, I felt like I had to stop and stretch them about every mile. I was trying my best to do a mid heel strike so that my shins didn't hurt... that seems to help. Anyway after I finished I got terrible cramps and some slight nausea. Think I'll head to bead early. I have a massage scheduled for tomorrow so I hope that will help my calves. 

6.2 miles - 1:00:49

Best - 7:43 - this had to be a fluke - or maybe it was just for a few seconds.

Average - 9:33

laps - 9:36, 10:12, 10:23, 9:26, 9:37, 9:37, last bit 9:33

I'm disappointed in my race results, but not surprised. I knew that I had not been feeling well the past few months plus the added bonus of shin splints. Then on top of it all this is one of the hardest 5K courses I have ever run. John from Stiders, who puts on the race, jokes that it's a 5K that feels like a 10K. After seeing Nate (massage guy) last night my shin felt better then they have in at least a month, then my compression sleeves were in the mail last night so they were great to run with. I can just hope that I continue to feel better and better, slowly up my miles and the drop a few extra pounds.
