Today wouldn't be "the day" I would run 5K without stopping, though I wanted it to be. I overslept, then hurried out the door with just enough time to get in 2.2 miles. The good news is, I ran the whole 2.2 miles without stopping, and in 24 minutes. It was an easier run today, though not easy by any means, as my shins were sore. Then tonight, the bottom part of the shin muscle--where it runs down into the foot--was hurting immensely on both legs/feet. Tennis ball rolling up and down those muscles seemed to help, but the lower part of the shin muscle still hurts on the right leg/foot.
I have to wonder if I have been trying to do too much, too soon. As much as I don't want to, I think I will rest from running tomorrow
and Saturday to give my muscles plenty of time to recover. That will still give me three more runs before race day.
