Shin splint Monday

I got on the treadmill this morning at 4:30am intending to do an 11 mile hill run. 2.2 miles into my run my left shin started to hurt. UGH! After having a stress fracture in 1992 before the New York City Marathon and having to take off 4 weeks I'm not willing to push it before Boston. I think I'll take a couple of days off and do the elliptical and try later this week for an easy run. I have been averaging 65 miles a week and I think my body is trying to tell me something. I bought a new pair of Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4s today because I had about 520 miles on my old shoes. We'll see if that helps.

12 weeks to Boston!
