What I did to workout today:
Mondays I go to Team Z's house for dinner "family dinner". My friend Mel is training for the Riverbank 5K so I asked her if I could do her training with her today so that I could get it in since I'm trying to make Mondays running days. It was great to workout with Mel. Her pace is definitely quicker than mine and it was just nice to be with a friend in general. We did about a 4 minute speed walking warm-up and then went into a 3 minute run- 3 minute walk cycle, doing that 4 times for a total workout of just under 1/2 hour.
The sun was shining and the wind was blowing and her route is really pretty so it was nice to be outside after a long day of work!
As for the shins--- today I tried to not stretch before working out (some people told me that it strains the cold tissue) and I didn't wrap at all. I tried to focus on rolling my fit, standing straight up and keeping my feet close to the ground to lessen the impact. I think all of those things helped because it was better than yesterday but my GOSH it still hurt like the dickens!!! There was one point when we were running through a park that I thought I'd need to stop but I pushed through it (I guess we'll see soon if me pushing through it is a good thing or not!).
Tomorrow I'll go to bootcamp but I'll take the day off from running. At this point, I'm hoping that bootcamp won't be a "running day". We'll see.....
