Some good, some bad...

thats how the training has been going.  A few weeks ago my left shin splint issue came back.  i ran on it a few days but finally decided a break would be best.  I looked back at my log the last time i had the same issue.  Both instances happened at the same time frame in my training schedule, same leg.  Last time I took 5 days and received some stim at the doctors.

Recently I have been able to catch up with a few old college track buddies via Facebook.  I also made my flight arrangements for the UTA track reunion in May, when we UTA hosts SLC outdoors.

And lastly I just ordered a new pair of trail shoes.  I decided to try a different shoe...Mizuno Wave Ascend 4.  I have read some great reviews.  Should receive them soon.

It's beginning to look a lot like...SPRING

finally.  The weather has been reaching highs of 55-60 the last few days.  I was actually able to run in shorts AND short sleeves lately.

As far as the training is going...it's going pretty good.  It is long process that began with 15 miles or so a week, adding 10% each week.  I'm now hitting around 32 weekly miles and feeling pretty good.  I feel like I could go much further and sometimes harder but I have to remember that's the perfect recipe for disaster.
