In my mind I'm a Kenyan!

After two days with out running I thought I would try to see if my shin felt any better. My friends had invited me to run Ben Lomond Peak (sorry for the spelling), but that would be about 41/2 hours and I just didn't think I wanted to push myself that much. 

So I ran the same path that I did last Thursday when I ran the trails at night. It was pretty nice. My shins didn't hurt the entire run... but started hurting when I was walking around a bit after. Hmmm wonder what is going on. 

I didn't time myself, but I figured I was at about 10 minute miles. 

8 miles.

Tonight my run felt pretty good, I was a bit slower, but not too bad. My shin felt OK, I will ice some more tonight. 

 7 miles - 1:04

 Tonight was a pretty good night, ran a bit over 6 miles... had to stop at mile 3 for a potty break but other then that it was not to bad :) Shins were pretty good :)

6 Miles - 55:19

Did not want to run today, I don't know what my problem is, but I finally beat down my inner two year old that was having my inner temper tantrum about running. I though I will just go and run one mile and see how I feel... one turned into two then eventually I slogged through 5 miles. By the end I was OK with how I felt about the run... Don't know what my deal has been lately, I think I need a new mindset about my running... maybe Santa can bring me that. 

5 miles - 46:10

Did the Thanksgiving Run at the hospital today... it is supposed to be a 5 miler but since the changed the course it is more like 4 miles. Nice run.. tons of people 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Today's run felt better then runs have in a while. I was able to stay at a tiny bit faster pace. My shin felt good so all-in-all I was pretty happy with my run. 

Had a great Thanksgiving will all my family... kids... grandkids...sisters...brother... neices... nephews you name it they were all at my house. I love having everyone come, I have to say I think all my family are the funnest..coolest people I know :)

6.5 miles - 58:03
