Well thats week 3 been an gone! :D ! Again I can't believe I've done it!

I was feeling rubbish my niggles are still bothering me ,I was ment to do my run yesterday but I was working yesterday an ended up walking over 8miles so came home an flopped on the sofa ,tonight I ran outside! I didn't fancy coming home an doin it on the treadmill mill so did it on my way home at 10pm , it was absolutely brilliant! The cool air was exactly what I needed ,it felt so good an stopped me sweating ,I even ran up a hill (a small one but still lol)

I have shin splints I think ,,,its like a sharp pain right in the center of my shin bone , its not when I'm exersicing but happens for a few mins every hr/ couple hours :/ any advice on how to help treat them would be greatly appreciated

Hoping wk4 isn't as bad as I think seems like a huge step up from running 3 mins 😕

How did it go? I'm due to start week 4 tomorrow but have a stinking cold joys of kids being back at school.

I also have a 2 month old baby so chances of sleeping it off are slim. If I do then I eill crack on it not ill take an extra rest day.

Hope your run went well.
