Running and shin issues

Hey everyone!

Another quick update...

Workouts have been going fairly well, this is the time that everything gets a bit tougher. I am happy to report that D and I are doing well with our weight loss goals. I'm down about 9 lbs. and D is down a total of about 14 lbs! Great job! I'm really excited that we have a plan and are seeing results from following it.

On the running front, my pace has been getting quicker and my runs have been getting longer, but my poor shins have been taking the beating. I've been working with a physical therapist and he says that flexibility is a major concern. No surprise to me there, I've never been very flexible. So now I'm working on stretches and trying to make flexibility a priority. I'd like to get this to be a more major part of my workouts as apparently it will help me to keep going into the future. That's really important to me as I have other running goals.

More on those later. :-)

See you on the roads folks!
