TGIF

My friend Katie wanted me to join her at Dixon today but I thought that I needed a break. My legs were killing me then I popped some ibuprofen and poof the pain went away. The last day of week 3 was a bit of a struggle for me...Not sure why that is but probably because I was a little tired or something. With 29 days left until Girls on The Run and 18 days left of training, I am getting a little bit nervous about not being able to run the race. Seems as though I am pushing it a little close but I guess my body will tell me when the race gets closer. I think that one of my many issues is that I do not have the proper shoes. I did buy running shoes but I think the fact that they are worn out and probably not in new condition is the issue that I am having shin splints. Seeing that I am doing everything that I can to treat them with medicine, stretching, elevation, and icing it is still not helping. Shoes seem to be the last thing on my list and seeing that I am going to be running outside for the race I should have the proper shoes.

Off to Eugene for the day with my Mom!
