I ran yesterday for 8 miles. My shins hurt only a little bit at times, and during those time I slowed down and they went away. I think the big key to my success last night was that I started out very slow. I ran a 10:30 mile for the first mile, and then once I picked up the pace the rest of the way I was fine. I ended up with an average pace of 8:27.
One thing I am sick of though is this weather. The last 7 runs I have been on have had some sort of precipitation. I don't care if it rains out, and I actually welcome a downpour. It makes me feel like I'm a hardcore runner. But the last 7 runs have had this lingering mist and light rain junk. I also don't think I've seen the sun in about the same amount of time. I think somebody went and stuck me in Seattle without telling me. And today's forecast, light rain and drizzle! AHHHHH.
Soon I will go out for my 3 mile recovery run, and strength training. Then I will tell you all about that one!
