Reset of Day 2

Felt good this morning.  I got my massage stick, yes I am trying all the recommended stuff, and used it yesterday.  I'm guessing it's working as I was a bit sore last night, but not bad this morning.  Was looking forward to a 4 mile run at a faster speed.

Started my run on the treadmill at a speed of 7 which calculated to a 8.37 min mile.  Not much faster, but within the requirements.  I did my stretch and walked for 2 min to warm up, but as soon as I started running my shins started burning and continued to burn.  Never got worse but just a constant burn.  After the first mile, the burn was the same, so I continued.  Once I hit the 2nd mile, the burn as the same, so I decided that I may want to slow down and make sure I don't damage something.  So I walked at a 3.5 speed.  The burning got worst.  So I tried a slow walk.  And the burning was about the same.  So I decided to return to the run speed and see what happened.  Strange things, it burned the same as it was when I was walking.  So I ran the next mile, but I knew I wasn't going to make 4 miles.

Once I got to 3 miles, I got on an Elliptical machine and decided to do the finial 10 min on it.  Found that it helped my shins, but my thighs are now killing me.  On a side note, I did find that I worked up more of a sweat on the Treadmill than I did on the Elliptical.

Glad tomorrow's a rest day.
