My workout today was a good one. I kept it a lighter day with my ST and changed up my routine a bit in terms of when I was lifting. I did half of my sets before my run and some after to see the difference in how I felt. My run was good, great in fact. I kept the first mile slow to let my knee and shin adjust before going faster, I think this helped with the rest of my run. I am still trying to figure out how to pace myself with my injuries so that I can run longer without having to cut my runs short because of pain. Maybe slowing it down for a mile or two will help. For mile 2 and 3 I was able to increase my pace and then for mile 4 I slowed it down again before walking a nice 3 min cool down.
After my run I came home for a nice relaxing bike ride. I did 8 miles strong, then rode some of the trails home as part of my cool down. Then instead of a typical brick workout where I run, I took a nice long 20 minute walk instead. I really enjoyed this as it gave me a chance to stretch out my legs without the intensity of a run. I feel strangely relaxed! I do not feel overworked or tired, I guess today was the perfect mix! The movers are here now with our shipment from Russia! I will finally have my treadmill and I can set up my gym here for days when I want to workout at home!

Sounds like you are really making Texas your home now. Good luck with the unpacking.
How are you icing your shins? A way that helped when I was playing collegiate soccer was to get dixie cups and fill them 3/4 of the way with water and freeze. Then, when you need to ice, tear off the top part of the cup (make sure to leave some as a handle) and rub on your splints-its called an ice massage, and it is surprisingly helpful.
I love reading what your days look like. How does your fueling look? I've noticed some days you burn much more cals than you injest, and I was wondering how youve been able to fight through fatigue. Thanks!
I have tried a version of your tip on icing my shins and you are right, it does help!

It is hard sometimes when I do not eat as much as maybe I should. I am still on a weight loss program so it is hard to maintain hard workouts at the same time that you are having to watch your intake. I log my foods on a site called myfooddiary.com and they tell me how much to eat each day depending on how much I workout. It really helps!
Thanks for stopping by!! Have a blessed day!
