Hiccup

So I set all these goals I wanted to reach and just when I'm getting into running, my legs start protesting! I started running in March and then stopped because I got a nasty case of shin splints and finals has a way of interrupted everything. Anyway, I'm back to running and the shin splints have decided to revisit. So I'm having to rearrange my plans. I ran 3k (1.8 miles) on Monday and felt good during the run but I'm hurting a little today. So I've decided to push my next run back an extra day to give my legs some time to recover. I'm planning for 3 miles on Thursday. In the meantime, I'm going add a swim session and bike workout on the days I don't run. You see, I've started thinking about competing in a sprint triathlon. Half mile in the water, 12.4 in the saddle (bike) and a 5k (3.13 miles) run. So I thought since my shins aren't cooperating, I can start working on swimming and biking, both of which are easier on my shins. I'm still waiting to hear from someone who wants to loose a few pounds!!!!
