Yesterday I ran two miles with no ice! It took 23 minutes, which is longer than I wanted to take, but I was running in Lake Geneva where there's a lot of hills. I need to keep my heart rate below 170 bpm or I lose my breath. Overall, I was happy with the increased distance and no pain, and also because I was running with a friend of mine.
I'm starting to feel the onset of shin splints, which in this case it is muscle pain coming from the smaller muscles that "invert" and "evert" the foot. They are the peroneous longus, peroneous brevis, and tibialis posterior. So I need to concentrate on exercising them by walking around on the outside edges and the inside edges of my feet. I'm trying to figure out how to stretch them, but nothing's coming to mind.
