I'll become a runner yet. I'm doing a 5k run next weekend. I'll mostly be walking to keep the above mentioned shin splints in their happy place while treading on hard asphalt. Baby steps are better than no steps at all!
Bikerhen, you hang in there. You are doing great!

DH and I had to get a 9 mile run in today but had been out of town and were driving home most of the day. We drove to my in-laws (who were dogsitting), changed our clothes and took off for our run only to get caught by the dark with coyotes howling in the woods. I'm sure glad he decided to run a slower pace and stay with me. I'm such a chicken in the dark.
