Back in the game!

I'm walking around the house, up and down stairs and I can't feel the shin splints. What's more, I ran nearly 7.5 miles earlier this evening, the first real test for my legs since resting the injury.

I took it very steadily, trying to keep my heart rate below 140 bpm, which kept my pace just over 5m 30s per kilometre throughout. I'd be very happy if I could keep that up for the marathon, but that's another story. I'm just chuffed to be back in action and that all my efforts to date weren't just for the sake of losing an inch round my waist.
