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.
