Pretty good run today, my knee was hurting a bit around mile 4-5, but then it mellowed out so I ran a bit more.

Today was pretty good, I think I was a bit slower today. My shins were a bit achy, I think it's time for new shoes. They have about 490 miles on them. Good thing it's pay day this Friday. :)

Well God blessed me with many things but gracefulness is not one of them. Sometimes at work I split my time between two buildings. When I do I ride the van that drives back and forth between the buildings all day, I was getting out of the van at the end of the day... the heal of my shoe caught the step and down I went on my right knee. AHGGGG how embarrassing.!!! I wish I could say this doesn't happen often but that is not the case. So now my knee and my shins are hurting.

My right shin was hurting quite a bit for the first mile, then it seemed to mellow out. At about the 41/2 mark it started hurting again, I was hoping for 6 miles but I will settle for the 5.2. I'm getting new shoes on my lunch break tomorrow and Icing my shins tonight... tomorrow at work, until they feel better :)

So I got a killer deal, I went to get new runners and ended up with new trail runners also...Anthony at Peak Performance in Ogden is the bomb :) If you ever need a good hook up on shoes go see him, tell him I sent you :)

Well Anthony invited me to go for a run with him and some other runners tonight. Trail running at 5:00pm, yep by mile 2 it was dark. I was so nervous, I trip getting out of a van... trails at night I was certain I would end up falling off the cliffs. But nope YAHOOO I did so good. Except for the fact that I was the slowest of the group. :( But at least I came back without any major damage. What a way to break-in new trail runners :)

So I had a terrible nights sleep. I woke up  in the middle of the night (about 12:30) with a terrible headache. I thought I might be dehydrated so I drank a bunch of water... then took some aleve, but still after 21/2 hour of being awake my head still hurt. I finally got to sleep a bit later, then when I woke for work, my head hurt but not to the extent it did in the night. I took off work a bit early because they were selling some excess property and I wanted a desk for my art room. Then when I got home I decided to try a run. My right shin is still a bit touchy so I thought I would do five and take it slow. It felt pretty good and I ended up doing 6 and the last mile felt better then the first!! If I had all the tech gear I would probably have done a negative split, but I can't say for sure. 

I don't think it's shin splints, when I had them many years ago they hurt when you pushed on your shins, Mine is not like that now, it aches but not nessicarily when you push on it, I don't know what is going on :(
