Training update

Posted by Rebecca in Training.

Still running over here.

Tonight, I finally beat my 5K time. Hopefully the same will hold true for the race next Saturday.

I am having quite a bit of trouble with shin splints. A new pair of insoles are helping a little, though the exaggerated arch seems to wreak havoc with the rest of my legs. I suppose it will take time to adjust to those. In the meantime, I’m finding 800 mg of what Tom calls “prophylactic Advil” to be the biggest help.

You know my plan to instill in my children a fear of horses, to ensure I don’t have to buy one someday?

It’s failing.
