The last two weeks have been a bit frustrating due to some significant shin pain that got a lot worse after the cross country 5k I did a week and a half ago. After a few days off I went to an orthopedist who gave me the very relieving diagnosis of posterior tibial tendonitis, and after a different shoe approach, some anti-inflammatories, and a ton of mental relief I'm pretty much 100% pain free at this point.
This past weekend was the first long run for the experienced marathon program Danny and I are doing (ironic, since neither of us have ever run a marathon). I wouldn't say it went well, but I did stay up fairly late the night before and have a little too much to drink...lesson learned. I could do that shit in college but it doesn't look like I can handle it anymore at the advanced age of 25. Either way, I got in 15 strong miles and am ready to hit it again next week.
Tonight, however, was the big night where I actually committed. I've paid the non-refundable entry fee for the Philadelphia Marathon on November 17th. Time to sack up and finally get this whole marathon thing going. Stay tuned...
