Training, Planning and Running the DW Race

I have left the running for two weeks to let my legs recover from their painful shins and for the last couple of days they have felt fine so this morning I set off for a short run before work.

Setting off my legs gave me a twinge on the front of my shin but I kept my pace down and managed the wear on my legs.

4.2 miles completed in approx 45 minutes (I didn’t time myself but had half an eye on the clock to ensure that I was back in time to get ready for work) so averaged about 5 and a half miles an hour. I had not too much of a problem and I have to say, it is a joy running early in the morning when the air is cleaner and there is little road traffic.

I feel a bit of ache in the shins again though not half as debilitating as the last time. I will give it a couple of days rest before donning the running shoes again.
