Tomorrow morning the diva and I leave for Florida. It will be her first trip to Disney World - and first race period - and my third Disney race in the past two years. Today is about putting miles on the log and not making my shin any worse than it already is. Too bad that isn't really going to happen.
I knew the second I hit the pavement that this was going to be one painful run. Not 100 meters in I was already feeling the pain radiating up my shin. Why oh why? I can't figure what I could have done to cause this. Hmmm, or maybe its the shoes. They are rather overworn at this point. I've been meaning to buy a new pair for a while, but have just been lazy. Running shoes should be changed out every 400-500 miles...these have more like 600 or so miles on them. Or maybe my leg just can't bear the weight any longer? Nah, I'm going with the shoes.
Note to self - scour the race expo for a good sale on New Balance 1080v and just buy them. Happy trails!!!
Stats -
Miles: 4.17
Time: 35:59 (average pace of 8:37 per mile)
