staying steady....

I am consistent with running.  I am on my third week of running 5 days a week.  MY schedule is 3 miles Mon-Wed., Thu off, Fri-2 miles, Sat 3 miles, Sun off.   I feel great and look forward to every single run.  I run 3 miles in about 27-28 minutes.  My legs are getting used to this and I am developing mild shin splints to I am now treating every day after running with ice.  They are not extremely painful but annoying.  I am going to invest in some new running shoes soon, which should help.  this schedule will continue for two more weeks and then we move on to the 5k training schedule where there will be days I run 4 miles.....It is starting to not look impossible but something I will look forward to.  I will look forward to every couple months finding a 5k race to run in  :)
