My shins were definitely bothering me and was really nervous that I was about to get a stress fracture. I met up with Matt around 11 pm and started off in the dark. The plan was to do about 12 and since I wasn't putting much distance in, I wanted to run FAST. I took off from the start and Matt was definitely struggling early on. My shins were hurting and I thought that it was going to get ugly. However, I kept running hard and soon we had to be running somewhere close to low 6 minute miles. At the turnaround, we had to make a quick pee break and we also needed a minute to rest, I was pretty beat! Turned around @ mile 5 due to intense shin pain.
Turned back and I was pissed. My shin felt like it was going to snap at any second and I wanted to take my frustration out on myself. Good plan James, like that will make the shin better. Well, Matt and I kept running hard, when we back to the trail on Washington, we were running hard. I kept pushing the pace as we got closer and closer, I swear we had to have been moving sub 6. Pace felt really really fast, possibly previous 5K pace. Put a little distance on Matt and as we got closer to Shauna's, the pace just kept getting faster. I sprinted in, finishing just ahead of Matt with nothing left in me. I was beat! Great run tho.
Total Distance: 9.5 miles
