This week I'm trying to take in easy with my running. I have a 5K this weekend and I don't want overdo it so I'm tired during the race. Now I have a new problem. Over the weekend my left knee hurt. This week it is shin splints.
While running on my treadmill yesterday, my shins were in pain. The few half mile was the worst. After that the pain was minimal. Later that evening I went to the county fair to see my husband at his merchant's booth. Around 9 pm, I left the fair and began walking back to my car. I was walking across the dirt horse race track and I started to run up a small hill. At that point my shins were screaming at me. How could I have gotten shin splints now? I haven't had them all year and now I have them with three days to go before my 5K. I'm still going to run that 5K, with shin splints and all. Besides the shins there will seem to be another problem: rain. The weather man predicted rain Saturday morning. Now that will be interesting: shins splits + hills + rain = FUN!
Thursday, July 26, is my birthday. I will be 28. My husband, a couple of friends and I will be having lunch tomorrow after work. Yes, I am working on my birthday. I know most people take their birthday off, but I didn't. To me, its not that big of deal. Other then the lunch tomorrow, my husband and I will be celebrating Saturday evening with a dinner. I don't know what he got me for my birthday. I did drop hints about more running clothes. I guess I will find out later.
