End of Week 2:
We had our second group run + clinic this morning! We met at the Platte River trail @REI bright and early at 7AM! We ran down the Platte River trail headed toward Invesco Field, made a lap around Invesco, then headed back to REI. I started out well, surprising myself by being able to run a full mile without stopping. I know this doesn't seem like much to most people, but this is HUGE to me! :] I slowed down around Invesco and only ran a bit on the return due to terrible shinsplints! I went to Runner's Roost earlier this week and bought compression socks which help with recovery, but haven't worn them during the run yet. The person I spoke with at RR told me that the pain is probably impacted related and due to the fact that I just started running [in other words, my body hates me and is revolting against me.....ugh!].

We had a stretching and injury prevention clinic for about 30 minutes after our run. I talked with Coach Mike afterwards about my shinsplints and he is going to email me some information and exercises.
When I got home I did a bit of strength training, then took a long nap! :]
