Default Today's run was nice

We got our first rain since May this weekend and boy did it feel nice to run in those cool temps. My program called for only 13 today and I tried to find a pace that was comfortable without knowing what it was and just hold it. It turned out to be about 8:06/mile. I felt good at the end but don't believe I could have done it again at the same pace. I'm really curious as to how I'll do in my marathon next month. I'd love to hold that pace the whole way but I'm beginning to think that an 8:30/mile is more realistic.

I hate you and your healthy legs. My 1/2 marathon got cancelled so I found a 15 mile race this weekend that I am going to run instead. It is actually a ultramarathon or at least they claim, but I am doing the 1 loop option. 7:00 am at 7000 feet is going to be freaking cold. 2 less weeks of running will be good though. I think I have a stress fracture or really bad lower shin splints and will enjoy not running for at least 6 weeks after saturday.

How do your shin splints feel while running? So you get pain while you are running or not until after?

I am struggling with the same thing. My pain is entirely anterior and lateral to the tibia. I'm almost certain its not a true stress fracture, but is most likely shin splints or periostitis.

I've got about 5 weeks until my marathon. This is supposed to be one of my highest mileage weeks and I'm taking the whole week off in hopes that I can be ready for a weekend run. I've got some monster trainer rides planned to help maintain my cardio. I just can't see myself doing 26 miles feeling the way it did this past saturday.

I'm developing some pain on the right shin, medially that feels pretty crappy when I'm walking around but goes away after I've been running awhile. I know that the worst thing I can do is to keep running on it, but I don't see much choice if I'm going to do this marathon in 5 weeks. My plan is to tough it out and then take 6 weeks off to let it heal.
