got on the treadmill tonite even tho i wasn't really in the mood to...
started out walking but tried increasing speed to a slow job of about 4.5mph...
well that just made my shins hurt really really bad..
so i thought, well great... here i am starting out and i'm getting shin splints already...
so slowed down to a walk..
next time on run, increased speed to 5.2...
well that made my shins hurt a little less...
slowed back down to a walk
and THEN i decided to see what would happen if I REALLY jacked the speed up so i increased it to 6.2...
well, wouldn't you believe it, my shins didn't hurt at all..
in fact, none of my body parts were hurting...
so finished the rest of the exercise with running speed of 6.2mph...
and even increased it to 6.5 at one point but i think that was too fast for me..
so it seems that somehow, the faster I run, the less my body hurts..??
not sure how that works but hey, I'll take it
