I was supposed to do 8-10 this morning. But my shins hurt. I don't know why I thought if I just kept running it would go away, but I did and it didn't. 1.5 miles in, I just knew I had to stop. So I walked home, forlorn and dejected wondering what I am going to do about the marathon against the constant flow of the entire Albion carpool convoy.

The thing is, I need a schedule. I need a routine. Training for an event provides that and incentive for me. I can defer the marathon until next year. But what do I do in the mean time? This is so frustrating. My hamstring was finally starting to get better. And then I overdid it again and blew up my shins. Running too far too soon. I should know better. I really should.

Back to the bike, I guess.

That totally sucks. I am soo sorry!! What a depressing bummer. Maybe we should film a singing video about how we're all injured and out of shape 40 somethings.

"Go Home! Go Home! You are out of shape! Go Home! Go Home! Your body's falling apart! You are a loser! And Old! Your shins are on fire! Your butt is sore bc you are old!
