Juneathon Day 4: Just keep moving, just keep moving

Shins felt ok, so I decided to hit the treadmill for 25 minutes at lunchtime. Following some stretching and 5 minutes cycling to warm up, I did a 5 minute powerwalk before doing some speedwork – 400m running fast then a 200m powerwalk/jog to recover for 15 minutes. Then, to cool down I turned the speed right down and put the incline on 5% to walk for 5 minutes up a hill.

I actually enjoyed it, however it was definately a good thing that I stopped the running when I did as my shin kicked in and now it is much worse than before. I should have listened to everyone else and given it more than a day to recover – I think it needs a few days rest at least. May see my osteopath if it doesn’t clear up after rest.

I was meant to be doing one of the 5k Park Runs tomorrow – needless to say that I am absolutely not doing it now. I’m meant to be running around Blackheath with a friend on Sunday – but I have told her that it may simply have to be a walk as I’m not about to risk making this worse. On the plus side, the insoles from the nice people at Asics have definately fixed my blister problem.

Not sure what tomorrow will bring – but certainly not running! Maybe just some fun and games on the Wii Fit at my boyfriend’s house
