Saturday: I went out and ran a nice and easy 1.8 miles. I felt pretty good and the weather was fantastic. I have been noticing though that I am getting kinda slow. I'm not sure if that had to do with me not running for 10 days, or just trying to take it easy on the body but I averaged a 10:30 pace. That is normally a very slow recovery for me. Overall though some sensation in the shins but not too bad
Sunday: I went big. 2.5 miles. I ran a good chunk of that on grass in a park to keep the impact down. I felt pretty good, but man it was hot out yesterday. I'm not used to running in 85 degree weather, especially after a very cold winter/spring. It also did not help that I realized that I had not drank any water that day, and I ran at 6:00pm I was not feeing good, but a little bit of water fixed that. Shins for the most part felt good. Pace was ok 9:00, but fatigue wise it felt like I ran it at a 7:00 clip or faster.
Monday: I'm going bonkers now! 3.6 miles! Pace was 8:48. So I'm running longer and faster, but even today this fatigued me more that it really should have. Again shins felt good I guess. There are some quarter mile stretches were I can feel the pain, but it goes away pretty quickly, and I am not noticing any pain whatsoever in my daily life. I also did my strength training today, feeling good all around.
Tommorow I think I will forego my speed training and just go for a slow 2 mile jog. Take it down a notch, and see how that goes. But man it's hard to keep pulling back on the reins like this. I just want to run and run fast! Ahhh.

Your doing the right thing. I bet once you have recovered you are really going to enjoy getting out there and doing some LSDs as I think that will be the point you are officially over the "hump".
