Update on training:
This past week, I have been steadily weight lifting and cross training on the Erg, Stair Master and Elliptical machines. I was supposed to run between 3-5 miles the last several days. However, this nagging, sharp pain in my left shin has reminded me to take it easy. I don't know how many more days I can take it easy. I read that people with shin splint injuries need to take it easy up to a few weeks to heal...I can't afford to take that much time off, can I? I should say I'm fortunate I am catching it early on so I can give myself time to heal. It is discouraging like, being benched when I know I am good enough to play.
Tonight, it is to be 6 miles running, but I am going to try and accomplish it with minimal impact by "running" on the Elliptical. I would say I'm entering the darkest period of my training; my miles are getting longer and challenging, the aches and pains are building, the NYC Half Marathon is looming.
On Fundraising:
Fundraising goal to date: $2731.00!!! Made possible by Bobby's grandparents! Thank you to G+G Robert and Mona Speaker for helping me on my journey. Your support has kept me positive through the training. :-)
