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.

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.
