My plan said 30 minutes easy run and I did just that – well 31 to be exact, to get me home. I sat through a very boring presentation this afternoon at work and all I could think of was this run. Fine and dry and cold when I got home, so making hay, off I went.
I wasn’t out long when I started feeling tightness in my shins – a sure sign for me that my calves are tight. So I stopped and stretched and that helped and the tightness gradually went. But it’s a timely reminder that as I increase my mileage, I need to get back into my stretching and strengthening regime. Need to remember the lessons of last year. So thank you tight shins.
