Sunday 13 MLR – Compete, 10.64 easy miles.

This week’s goal – Recovery, recovery. I will have modify my schedule to accommodate the Cowtown Half Marathon on Saturday. Weekly Summary – Developed a mild case of Shin Splints on Sunday, the tempo run on Tuesday made it worse, SO I am iceing after each run. I decided to not race the Cowtown Half Marathon and make it an easy training run (to give my shin a rest). The goal was to finish without making matters worse. Looks like it was a success, the shin feels fine and I still averaged 8:42 with a 7:30 for the last mile or so.

alan fletcher · Feb 21, 2008

decided on last thursday that it was time for some downtime as i've noticed a little ache in my right achilless - having been thru achilles issues in the past i've learned to take care of it early. cut friday run short, and skipped sat sun. 
just squeaked over 40 for last week. 
havent run yet this week, but will probably get out for some easy miles today. wont hit 40 this week, but should be back near normal next week. 
............. 
just 20 this week - only ran fri/sat/sun. 
should be back to normal next week - aiming to get up to 60ish
