Wednesday 1/5

So today I started out with the 15 minute warm up. In the beginning my shins were fine, then I felt them and then it went away. However, after I got back to the high school, I felt them as I was walking around. This is all pretty minor, but something is definitely not right and they are nowhere near as bad as they were last year, which makes me think that I don't have stress fractures, but they were so severe last year that I can't really judge it that well. I just don't want it to get worse. And of course, it is quite unfortunate and annoying that I have to go through this again, and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. So I decided against doing drills today, playing it safe, and went to the fitness center. There I did the cross-training program on the elliptical for 30 minutes. I do not enjoy working out on treadmills or ellipticals much, but I have to deal, and chatting with Chandler also helped pass the time! They joys of the fitness center are endless--the kiss 108, the temperature and the smell, oh my! Tomorrow, I hope to run a great (and smart) race and qualify!
