Couple of things were great this week and then a few things are pissing me off. Here is a list for this week:
Pissing me off:
- my shins are SUPER sore!
- my hand still hurts from my fall while roller skating. Err!
- I bought a new pair of shoes!! Yay. I really, really needed those. I ended up buying the Brooks Cadence, which I have been drooling over for some time. I got them at The Running Center, near my casa. They gave me a great deal. 30 % off. I can not complain.
- I ran a 38 second 200. I know that may not be a huge deal to some fasties out there, but this is huge for me. I am realizing I have potential to run fast on the short runs. I can't keep it up on the long one's at least not yet. Happy for some improvements!
- I ran 5-miles this week. Longest run since March, maybe?! Another reason to smile.
I expect things to go back to normal soon and once they do, I have some great posts coming your way including - What's keeping me organized in 2013, Nike plus watch review, and some goodie food recipes I have been hoarding. :)
Hope everyone has a fabulous week!
Good luck with everything! Great job with the workouts and keeping track of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks. And mucho thanks for visiting my blog. :-)
DeleteAwesome time at the track miss! Getting faster :) My shins used to get sore because I was wearing the wrong shoe. Ever since I bought the right pair - shin pain has never cropped back up thankfully!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have tried all sorts of shoes. Support, no support, minimalist it happens in all of them. I think I lean a bit forward and maybe is putting more strain on my shins. I have to fix that.
DeleteNice Job Jessica on the workouts. You are doing great. Just a little hint, shin splints are actually not caused by pressure on the shins per say. It is actually caused by tight calves. Leaning forward from your ankles is a natural position for the body, so do not worry about that. I would spend some time rolling your calves, and doing heel walks. Let me know if I can help. I hope everything else in your life is ok.
