My shin has stopped being tender. I can push the area with my thumb and all is fine. I continued with my icing regimen anyhow. I just want to be sure.
At lunch, I took to the trails for an easy 6 mile run. I had planned to take my break a little earlier than usual so I told Mark that I would run alone. But when the time rolled around for me to go, he was also leaving on his run. We were both planning the same run route. It seemed pointless to run separately – only not.
We started the run out together. It was a little faster than I wanted to go for this initial testing stage. We were rapidly getting farther and farther away from the office. Mark had planned to simulate Yasso’s, and I had planned to not do speed. At the end of the parking lot, he began his 1st 3 minutes of fast running while I continued at my own pace behind.
