Week of 1/9 - 1/15
Well I had what I would call a dormant week. I did get to the gym twice and hit 72 flights of stairs up and down 3 times on Wednesday. I hoped that the dormant week would help my shin, it did, but my stubbornness, pushed me to do the stars on Wednesday. I should have bagged it but I wanted to do it. The shin is better, rest, massage therapy and stretching definitely helped. Overall feeling pretty good. Saturday (1/14) I hit Cannon, Cannon Balls and N. Kinsman for about 11 miles and 4126 of Vert. This is basically all my miles and vertical for the week. It was a great "hike" no running, bitter cold temps around negative 10 with slight wind. Sunday I did get out in the Blue Hills to log some running miles, 7 total.
It was a good week, got to "relax" clearly my stubbornness, is the culprit of me trying to heal, need to work on that.
Totals for the week:
18 miles of combined trail running and hiking
5000 feet of vertical
Rest the shin. You know you won't have the time later. By mid February you will be going hard. "relaxing" for you is a legit week of training for most people.
