Hi Everyone,
Last night was terrible as far as my legs are concerned. I even started out at a very slow pace trying to “talk” my shins into being nice. It didn’t work.
At the end of my dreadmill run, I laid on the floor for about five minutes before even attempting to stretch it out. I took extra time to stretch and roll last night and then spent more time icing my shins afterwards when I would have much rather been in bed.
Still sore this morning and contemplating what I am going to do this evening. If they don’t improve over the course of today, I’m going to make a change. There is no way I can safely go eight miles with the current status. I’ll substitute in the bike, if necessary. I’ve got twenty miles on Sunday and I can’t afford to be less than healthy by then. I’ll make up the miles next week if need be.
My final decision on the shoes is to head back to the store with them. I’m not sure if they will take them back or exchange them provided that I have run in them a couple of times. Even if they don’t, I’m buying a new pair of Aasics. Lesson – be very careful when making a change in your shoes, probably best to only change the type, brand or model after your race rather than during training.
