Week 5: Check

6 runs, 55 miles

A very good weeks training. Got in a good tempo run, 2 gym sessions, and my longest run to date. The shin issue that caused me some concern last week in the right shin was a total non-issue this week. Today's long run had some hip/IT tightness on the left side that I need to pay some attention to, but otherwise I'm in pretty good nick. This week should allow me to recover nicely as I've nothing but mileage till Saturday when the weeman makes his return to competition. Prepare for embarrassing slowness over 5 miles!!
