Thursday July 9 (Yesterday)

Yesterday was a good run too. I wore my Camelbak for the first time, so it was a little different having that additional weight on my back. And a little slower, but my shins were bothering me—I think the increasing mileage has taken a toll lately. I've been icing my legs and trying to stretch a lot. I'm a little worried about the shins for tomorrow's 8 mile run, but all I can do is try it out. It's not like I've never run with shin splints before. I feel like the hip has gotten a lot better, still need to do some weight training though. And some fundraising!!! If you're reading this, please PLEASE make a donation—$10 would be great—the link is to the right of this post!!! Thanks :)
