Met at Sasha's house and ran with Carolyn form Co.  we had a good run and a nice chat.  Came home and did 30 mins on the bike. 

8:45 avg. pace.  was tired form the 2 workouts yesterday.

yoga and abs/back

My inside of my shins are killing me, again I blame it on the orthotics.  This seems to happen after wearing them for a while.  I went and bought some moldable inserts from soft sole and I am going to use those for a while and then transition to nothing and then maybe transition to 5 fingers.

I was just reading about you having trouble with your shins and just to let you know i also had a lot of trouble with my shins. Another blogger sent this to me and it really helped me out a lot. I know if you start doing this that your shin splints will go away for sure.

Jill, our running coach Donnie's wife, ran track at Baylor University. I had shin splints a few weeks before Boston last year and she taught me how to overcome them and how to never get them again. Here is the simple workout that you do.

1. Before you run do these exercises:

- duck walk with your toes pointing outward away from each other for 20 meters.

- duck walk with your toes pointing inward toward each other for 20 meters.

- heel walk with your toes pointing up for 20 meters.

- walk backwards on your toes for 20 meters.

- then do your other regular stretches or other drills and then do your run.

2. After your run do this simple exercise. Find a step or curb that has a hand rail or something you can hold on to and steady yourself. Stand on the step on one foot with your forefoot (have your heel extended off the step in the air).

Raise yourself and lower yourself as many times as you can until your calf muscle burns. I usually get about 100 raises in a set.

Change legs and with the other foot raise and lower yourself as many times as you can until that calf muscle burns.

Repeat this with each leg so you can get 3 sets with each leg.

You are done. If you do these pre-run drills and post-run exercise you will never get shin splints again and the shin splints you have will heal very quickly.
