The past two weeks have been absolutely awful for my running. First, I was hampered by the shin splints. That kept me off my feet for 2 of my scheduled training runs (the golf really didn't help my shins all that much, but at the time it didn't feel like it was hurting them either). Then I came down with a sinus infection, which kept me in bed for most of the week. I missed another 4 runs. As you'll see by my run breakdown, I wasn't able to get out much at all. I am, thankfully, feeling considerably better. Here's hoping for a more productive Week 6.
Week 4 Totals: 2 Runs, 1:10:37 + 2,311 Yards, 3.5 hours and 92 strokes
Monday - 1.98 Miles, 39:47
This was, obviously, a walk. I wanted to keep my legs moving, and I took the wife on a two-mile stroll. It was a little chilly, but it wasn't too bad.
Wednesday - 2,311 Yards, 3.5 hours
I took a vacation day and played a round of golf. Obviously, from the yardage, it was a Par-3 course, but it was a full 18 holes. Also, I shot a 92, breaking 100 for the first time in my life!
Saturday - 2.41 Miles, 30:50
After taking a few extra days off, I decided to test out my legs once again. Knowing that I was supposed to start doing 3-milers during week 4, I tried my first on this evening. Of course, I wasn't able to run the entire way, and I found that my shin area was tightening up as I walked. I didn't want to risk re-injury, so I cut the run short and headed in. It felt good to get back out there, but I was disappointed that my legs didn't feel as good as I would have liked. My head also felt a bit out of sorts. Little did I know, that was just a precursor of what was to come the following week.
Week 5 Totals: 1 Run, 21:15
Friday - 1.1 Miles, 21:15
A walk after having been sick all week. I still felt terrible, but I knew I needed to move around a little bit.
Week 6 Schedule: 5 Runs, 12 Miles
Thus Sayeth Your Haus
