The tibia is still giving me problems. At least 2 nights this week (including Sat. night), the pain has awoken me. I mowed yard today and it didn’t even bother me at all. I’ve barely noticed it at all today other than this morning when I woke up.
When running sometimes it hurts the entire run and sometimes only the last 2 miles. The pain isn’t so great that I can’t run, but it is there. Once I start walking, it is usually gone. I’m not planning ahead at the moment for races and training and just taking one day at a time. I was happy with my milage this week and much better than last week. The hills are challenging. If I can keep up the twice per day running, I should be able to get some good milage and build a base even if I can't run much more than 4 miles at a time for awhile. Although, I'm seriously considering taking several consecutive days off from running this week to see if that corrects the problem.
Weekly running miles: 36.6
YTD: 803.5

Hey Andy, hope you're having a great Memorial Day!
Don't get too discouraged with the injury...keep in mind you're only 3 weeks post marathon and your body is probably still healing from that.
Have the courage to rest if you feel like you need to. Even at 4 miles at a time, all those 2-a-days have got to be tiring.
I'll most likely see you Tuesday and/or Thursday at the morning group run. As hot as it's gotten, I've got to start getting out early!
I hope that injury heals up very quickly for ya!
Thanks for the encouragement and those 4 milers were a bit tiring. I think I will revisit that option later.
I decided to try running a little today and took it slow and ran 2.4 miles just to test how I was feeling. I think I am getting a little better taking Sunday and Monday off from running, but don't want to push it too soon. I'll try a couple miles again on Thursday. I have a feeling I will be biking a lot this week.
Not only am I healing from the tibia problem, my lower abs have been very sore as well. I think I need to let everything heal and start fresh.
Andy , any improvement in the legs yet? How is the running going? Hopefully better now!
