Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
8.20	3.00	11.20

Fartlek type workout on the Orchard loop with Jen. She got this workout from Nick Symmonds and I just went a long with it...

18 min wu (~2.3 mi), 2 x 3 min with 2 min active recovery + 8 x 90 seconds with 60-90 second active recovery. Continual workout with the recovery much swifter than I probably would have done on my own. 2 mile cooldown. 63 min. It was way too dark to try to keep track of paces and I didn't really care anyway. This workout was way more about the effort for me.

Feeling like I have shin splints in just my left shin?.....I did not feel it during the workout but noticed it during the cool down. Definitely just a niggle at this point but it has me worried and I need to be cautious.

PM: 20 min very easy shake out run. no watch

Great way to get in some speed. You tend to run more relaxed when you aren't pressing to hit certain times/paces, and that's a good thing.

For the shins, ICE and try to get on some soft surfaces when possible.

More great work Rachelle. Take care of those shins. I second the soft surfaces. Maybe some grass loops ;)?

could be a result of tight calves. try some heel/toe walking.

Nice work, Rachelle! I hate the sleeves, but forced myself into them when I had a similar pain. It did help! I'm hoping it'll remedy quickly!

Looks like you're getting a bunch of great advice! Good luck with the shin and nice workout today.

From Scott Wesemann on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 10:27:27 from 66.232.64.4

Good luck with that shin and that is a great workout.

Niggle: Love your word usage! Nice workout! Think I'll try it sometime. Take care of that niggle in your shin. :)lol

Great workout, Rachelle! Take care of that shin. I like doing toe curls with a weight when I get that first sign of a shin splint--it worked great for me in High School. Soft surfaces are a good idea as well.

From AngieB on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 12:28:23 from 65.130.68.108

Great job Rachelle! It's weird you say that my shins having some issues as well. What's up w that? Ice it and rest. Mine was more on sat and today actually it's felt better.

From RAD on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 14:09:00 from 76.27.82.202

great workouts this week Rachelle! You are killing the workouts. I might have to steal this one though :)

I hope that niggle goes away. Compression socks and foam roll your calves. That is what usually takes care of my shin splits. Heel/toe walking is good too!

From Rachelle on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 15:12:14 from 159.212.71.199

Thanks so much for the feedback on the shin everyone. I really am so thankful for the support. I wouldn't be worried if it were both legs but I think this is what I get for focussing on rehabing my right side so much. A good lesson/reminder to me to always foam roll and strengthen both sides and not just the side that is injured!

Sounds scary to me 😁. I will just go into the next on blindly and hope I survive... Hehe
