Thought I'd try something different last night and quickly discovered not all MUPs are created equal. This 'new' one is much harder than the 'old' one, strange. My shins quickly explained this to me and I stopped after 4 miles cuz I am not going to risk shin splints with only 2 more weeks of 'real' training before the Mini. Decided to just go out again today on my trusted 'old' path and run again there. I am planning 12 miles for my long run this weekend, and this will be the last long one before the Mini Marathon. Immediately after the Mini is over I'm going to step up my cycling training for RAIN in July.

Bike Chick didn't you say you were doing the Mini or am I thinking of someone else?
