So, today was interval day at the track, and after Monday's not so great attempt, I wasn't sure how it was going to go. I used a rolling pin to roll the muscles in my shin before I left the office, and did a couple different shin stretches. When I got to the track, I did some hamstring stretches and a couple more that stretched both my shins and calves. Then I made sure I walked for 4 minutes before I started running.
Today's workout was a full mile with a 4-minute walk, a half mile with a 3-minute walk, and then two quarter miles with a 2-minute walk in between. I was surprised how good it felt. I think I could have run another couple of laps, but with my recent shin splints I decided not to be noble and stop when I was supposed to! ;)
It was only 2 miles, and it was relatively flat, but it was great to get a good run under my belt after a poor one, and now I can look forward to my run on Thursday. I think on Thursday I will run my normal route backwards just to change it up and see how I do with the major hill first and the rest of the route being mostly downhill.
