Before the race yesterday I woke up with a pain in my left shin, worse when lifting my foot up, which I just ignored. After the race, G & J and I went for a walk in the country and it really started to hurt. I forgot to ice it last night and this morning it was pretty bad so I decided to skip a proper run today. I also felt so exhausted today. What a wimp. Hard to believe I ran more than five times that distance only three months ago.

Never mind.

20 x mins crosstrainer
10 x mins step machine
15 x mins treadmill
15 x mins powerplate

(Yes, I did succumb to a tiny little run and I felt a bit better afterwards too).

I got the official results online. The winner did it in 26:01. How is that humanly possible? 55:16 was my official time. Fourth from last. Told a few people about it today and they were in hysterics.
