....but that's okay. I know that they are getting a little bit stronger. The combo of running and weight training has really helped over the last 2 months. I am getting faster. My legs are getting more skinny and toned up (hence the ability to fit into long lost shorts that I almost gave up on.) The muscles are getting stronger. (Did I say that earlier?)
I am allowing a slow day following by a 15 session involving a 5 gallon buckets and LOTS of water and ice for my right shin. Quite painful, but helped a lot.
Mile 1 - 10:37
Mile 2 - 10:36
Mile 3 - 10:34
Total - 31:50
Avg Pace - 10:36/mile - VERY consistent and slower, but still NEGATIVE splits!

Yup, coming along nicely with those 10 minute miles... I remember the days of pickle buckets :-)
Good job on the run. I need to get in the gym for more strength training -- I think my weak muscles have been the source of reoccuring knee problems.
Denise- your splits are looking so good! Here's to those shins healing and letting you carry on!
Denise, you are doing GREAT!! Pretty soon, you'll be buying NEW clothes to fit into. ;)
I know someone who is going to run great at her upcoming 5K!
Awesome splits. And glad to hear your hard work is paying off!
