Well...I started out my run this morning cautiously, as was unsure of the shin. Throughout the run there were moments where I could tell there was something still there and also times where I felt perfectly normal. April did say that it's usually the 2nd day that most people feel normal again. I didn't feel the sharp pain at all, there was no tender feeling to the touch at all - and with the amount of knots that she kept discoverying it was amazing that I was even running at all!!

Time for the 3M today was 25:26 (8:24, 8:31, 8:31) nice and easy and relaxing. I will take tomorrow off again just to let things recover properly and then hit it again on Friday. Looks like our man Steve is once again right! You're the best buddy!

RunStrong friends!

AFTERNOON WEIGHTS:

Wasn't sure how the workout would go with running this morning and having to do this in the afternoon vs the evening - however, it went really well.

Didn't have any issues really - the squats/seated calf raise combo went well; followed by the leg extn, calf raise, leg curls combo; followed by the stiff legged deads, close stance squats combo. The last was a good push as you can imagine the hams & guads just being blasted. I kept all sets at 3 and reps at 10, weight was light as I will be working up to them again!

I will normally (on Wednesday that is) run in the mornings and do this leg workout in the evenings and then rest from running on Thursday. So we'll try it and see how it goes!

PumpHard and StayStrong everyone!

Good to hear that you were able to run again this soon. Good idea to take today off and not push it. My knee is a bit sore from yesterday's mileage, but I'll rest it today and hit it again tomorrow. Nice weight routine...gotta love it!

Hey - Sounds like your pain session went well!!! Glad to hear your leg is doing better.

It sometimes takes 2 or 3 massages to totally take care of the issue - so if it starts tightening up again don't get frustrated.

Keep up the good work!
