Short-Term Running Goals:

I've been a very active runner since High School ( I usually run 5-6 days a week) but I have yet to run a Marathon or any other competitive race since then. I want to get back into competitive running and hopefully have similar results like in High School. Although, last January 09 I got shin splints really bad and it took a good 6 months of rest and rehab to finally get back in the groove. I would like to run a sub 8 minute mile on my first Marathon but maybe I should just worry about finishing it first?   

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

Personal:

I'm 42 years old and I'm married! I enjoy the outdoors (Hunting, Camping, Backpacking)

Today wasn't to bad of a run. It was a bit chilly but not too bad. I was hoping to run longer but it took a while to get my legs loosened up. I'm still having problems with shin splints and it definitely slows you down. I have a Doctor's appointment on Monday and hopefully that will help.

Well, I went to the Doctor today and I have Posterior Tibia Dysfunction.......something (a good case of Shin Splints) Thanks to the Treadmill! He said I need to take it easy for about 3 weeks if not I could end up with Stress Fractures. He recommends doing some Physical Therapy and cutting back on my miles and doing some Cross Training instead.  I may need Orthotics buy my Super Feet are good for now. If anybody has any suggestions that would be great! I don't want to be down for too long.

Well...I didn't run at all last week due to my dumb injury (shin splints) but I did however go to Physical Therapy yesterday. It was really good! I did it over at TOSH. The Pysical Therapist that I saw is a Marathon Runner and he ran some in college. He knows exactly what I'm going through. Unfortunately, he said I need to lay off of it for at least another 2 weeks and then ease back into it. It's going to be tough, I want to ge out there run now! But, the exercises he gave me should help a lot and I should get over the injury.

Well....I went to Physical Therapy this week and the Doctor thought I could try to see how I would feel running. My legs have been feeling great and I haven't felt any pain for about a week or so but I was kinda hesitant to run. I was glad I did. It felt pretty good. I didn't feel any pain in my legs, I was just sore and I felt out of shape. It's funny how your body reacts when you take off 3 weeks and you don't exercise.
