Just a bump in the road...

Good news...

The shin splints which I thought were going to be a major set back have turned out to be only a bump in the road. I started running every third day and I'm happy to say that my last two runs were both for 3.13. I'm running that distance because that is the distance for my first race which I will be running in August. My last two runs have been the longest runs I've managed to put together back to back!

I ran 5 Kilometers on Sunday in just under thirty minutes, and just over my 5k personal best. I'm planning on running two miles tomorrow to see how my legs respond to just one day of rest. If I feel good, I'm planning on resting only one day and running another two miles on Thursday. I'll rest Friday and Saturday and then take my first shot at four miles.

I lifted weights today and biked 2.3 miles on a stationary bike. Hopefully my dad will be lending me his bike soon and I'll be hitting the road to cross train for a triathlon some time next spring.
