everything is looking good - sshhhhh :-) So felt fine after Friday's little trot around, had Sat off and hit the tow path on Sunday for my LSR, felt good, OH was there to meet me near the end and I swapped the dog for a bottle of lucazade liquid energy - I definately go the better deal ha ha. So ran to my 'finish line' stretched and wandered back the short distance to where the car was waiting.
It was a good run, felt strong, could've carried on even and more importantly my shins were quite - yahoooo :-) So after a nice shower we popped off to go and buy some nice shiny new shoes as my treat ! soooo bouncy and lovely and white and comfy and... well, you get the picture :-)
Monday finally plucked up the courage for my first tempo runs now that the shins seem to be coping, need to increase the pace - the plan called for a 30m jog, 5m walk, 10m run and 10m jog. I substituted the last two with a 20m of pick a marker run to it as fast as possible and then recover 30secs, run to next marker etc -this worked really well. Felt good and strong although stupidly forgot to put the knee brace - it has been fine for ages !, so could feel it starting to complain for the last 15m.
Still, all in all really pleased, shins still feel good this morning, the knee's still a bit sore but tiger balm is helping. Straight 45m planned for later, fingers crossed the weather holds ! Hope you are all winning !

So glad your shins are on the mend! Hope they stay that way and glad your LSR went well. Good work, hope this weeks training goes well.
