47:00 | soft sand After my run on Sunday on the hard paths of the coastal run, my shins remain stable but quite tender. So as not to aggravate the situation further I ran on the sand again last night. I'm thinking that grass and sand will be part of my running regime for a considerable period of time with only the one run per week on the road before I am finally on top of this injury. Who knows, maybe I've have sore shins off and on for the rest of my days. I'm half expecting Plu to say in his 2015th CR post - "In the year of 2015 ...and Gronk still has shin splints." Nah, kidding really. The beach down at Bondi had a surprising number of runners last night. All up there must have been a dozen including me. My shins felt good in the sand. No real issues except for overall fatigue. Especially in the legs. I measured the run on Google Earth (I must remember to take my GPS next week) and its a tad short of 1 km. About 970m. Last night I ran 5 1/2 laps which left me without anything in the tank whatsoever. My legs were jelly. If am to ever complete the Bondi Barefoot (10km) in July I'm going to have to really get my act together. Lose weight and get fit. Hmmm. Thursday I will spin at home in preparation for Striders on Saturday. I'd like to go for a run on the road, but don't think I should push my luck. Mood: --->
