So after taking a very long 7 day break from running, I finally was able to go today.  It was pretty cold out, and snow very lightly on and off, but I am glad I went.  I  am not sure if I have a pulled muscle or it's shin splints, but I was limping around last week, and when I tried to run on Tues, I had to turn around after 1/2 mile.  I decided then I had better take some more time off to heal.  I did take ibuprofen before today's run, just to make sure it wouldn't hurt too bad. Yea! It was really hard for me not to run, because I feel like I am finally committed to something, I have ran consistently since March 1, and hopefully I can keep on going!!

Once again took time off, but finally went today. Weather was actually perfect, except for the red air quality day! Hopefully the good outweighs the bad!!!! Anyway, still have pain in my shin area, it feels like my bone is bruised. I did the heel & toe walking like allie suggested at the end of my run, and now I am going to soak in ice water like my brother suggested!
