Marathon Training Weeks 7 and 8

Almost forgot. Had to take a rest. My shins were killing me. Kurt at Runner's Soul spent a goodly amount of time with me. He looked at my old shoes and my new shoes and gave me some tips and exercises to do. I'm gradually working back into it. I was doing fine until a lunchtime run last week. My shins were aching again afterwards. I run faster at lunchtime because I'm trying to squeeze in 4.5 miles and a shower in one hour. I run a slower pace otherwise. I'm going to try running at a slower pace this week.
