If at first you don't succeed

Well I tried street running again today. I went a different route. . .one without so much incline. My knee is still aching a bit, but not as bad as last week. My calves feel fine, my shins are hurting some but that is nothing new ~ they are pretty much always painful to touch. I was able to jog the entire stretch I set out to do. I thought it was 1.5 miles but just used mapmyrun and turns out it is only 1.37 ~ close but no cigar. When soccer season would start and we had to run 3 miles I used to have a 'jog as slow as you want, just don't walk' rule which I did today. Some stretches were VERY slow jogging, but I didn't walk the entire 1.37 miles (I walk to warm-up/cool-down so entire thing was 1.95 mi). Running is as much of a mental game as it is physical. 

Then I came home and did 30 minutes (7 miles) on the recumbent bike. Off to shower then head to church. . . I slept in this morning :)
