Severe rain storms in Texas since Sunday. Ran on treadmill at home. Testing the left leg shin splint healing. Treadmill is not nearly as impact prone as running on roads. Shin felt fine for this run.
Karen F. and I are doing 15 miles Friday after work. Then this weekend I'm on the road taking my grand-daughter back home after her spring vacation with us. | | Add Comment |

| Went over to Florence HS with Lynn, PD, and my grand-daughter, 7 year-old Tapainga. This was just a testing of the left shin on the track, preparation for the 15 miles we are going to run after work on Friday evening. Good news is the shin felt fine with this easy run on the track. It was just 2 weeks ago that the shin had severe pain after easy running at Williamson County Park. Looking forward to 15 miles around Townlake on Friday. | | Add Comment |

| Ran after work with Karen F. on Townlake trail. Did the 10 mile loop and then the 5 mile loop. Monitored the left shin for any pain issues, but all seemed okay. A beautiful day to run, after a week of rain. The storm clouds moved away just as we got started running. | | Add Comment |
