water running: why I have it: I hate water unless I am on top of it on a connelly concept going 38 mph in a wetsuit or drysuit. I hate being cold. I hate chlorine. I hate every aspect of it. If chlorine kills microbes, then what does it do the epithelial cells of human lungs as we breathe it in? But I managed a 50 minute workout before mylast class of the semester, 4 x 5-6 minute intervals with recoveries. Geez this is so boring and stupid. I keep thinking I should just run, I was inches from deciding to run the providence panda fun run 5K tomorrow to defend my title (never lost that race since it's inception, a testament to the fact that no one else takes it seriously). I keep wondering if I am just being a wuss and should run through the foot pain, but the definite shin splint sore spots I still have tell me that whole tendon (which runs from the toes around the inside of ankle and up the inside shin) needs some rest. Hopefully non weight bearing stuff is not aggravating it as well but who knows?
