WEEK 8 - ON HOLD

So I am due to start week 8 this week however I have been getting slight niggles in my shin, I can only think it is the longer runs causing it. I have a 6k obstacle race on sat (Dirty Dozen Races) and don't want to have to pull out so am thinking it is best I leave the running this week and concentrate on the cross trainer/ bike/ rower as well as my usual weight routine .......

what are people thinking any other ideas of a low impact that will still help keep legs and arms strengthened ?
