Back in the Grind

Today was my first real running day after the race and realizing how bad my shin splints actually hurt.  I didn't actually notice the pain until I did my cool down and I was limping home.  While on my run today I hit my best pace and my best distance so maybe the shin splints aren't as bad as I think they are. I am trying to slow down my training to 3 days a week and I only have one more run in the couch to 5k program.  I am also working a lot for the next week so I am hoping to still make time for my training.  Today was a special run because MRM actually waited to go running with me and he left after me and we got home around the same time which never really happens but he ran a 5k and I did just over a 5k which I am so proud of and so excited.  I have also started a tuff butt april workout which is basically a bunch of squats and lunges that I build upon every day until the end of the month.  I am doing this because I want to focus on building muscle while I am doing all this cardio.  Hopefully in a month of two when I do selfies I actually will feel better about my muscle definition.  Hope everyone's training is going well and the weather is keeping everyone outside.
