4 weeks left!

Hello all!
I am definitely still having painful shin splints. I spent the last week and a half cross training trying to give my legs a break.
Mon: Rest
Tues: Bike
Wed: 1 hour personal training session- lifting weights and stretching, plus 20 minutes in the pool
Thursday: rest
Friday: 1.5 mile walk/run to test my legs
Saturday: 3.5 mile run with a few walking breaks

I am definitely a bit nervous about the 15k this weekend. I am really glad we are doing it thought, I think it will be a good test run for my legs. Hopefully it goes well! When I am running everything feels good, except my shins and feet, so I should be able to finish the run...but just be in pain.

I am so proud of everyone for working so hard for this! Keep training hard we only have 4 more weeks to go!

Oh and sad news, Joel has officially decided to not run the 1/2 marathon with us. He did the run with me this saturday and his knee is hurting really bad. We don't think it is a good idea for him. Hopefully we will get him in to the doctor in the next couple weeks to find out what is wrong.
Love you all!
OJ
