Today I went running again. I was scheduled to run 7x hill repeats, and I was quite nervous about doing so. I did not know how my shins would feel, and to be honest, last week the 6x repeats had me nearly collapsed after the sixth one. But I FELT AWESOME! I had no pain in my shins during the run. I ran fast up the hill despite a very strong headwind. I even ran an extra half-mile just because I felt good. I can actually feel myself getting faster, and I'm only into my 3rd week!
I did make sure I stretched my calf in many different positions before I started up the hill for the first time, and then once more after 4. I also did some major stretching once I got home, and resumed my icyhot and ace bandage compression. I feel good today, but I don't' want these to come back in a week.
Tomorrow is a recovery day, and I should be running 5 miles. Hopefully I can do that too. I think that two back to back days of running will tell the story. Wish me luck!
