Back to running/Dr. visit

Having last week to cross train was a nice break for my legs. I was also encouraged by how my shins felt on Friday. So I'm running again this week. Probably 4 miles every day. Maybe I'll run 6 on Saturday.
So I ran today's 4.0 at a good pace, I would probably call it a tempo run. I even held back the first 3.0, ran fast for 0.5 then easy for the last 0.5. It felt good to open up and run for a bit. Only a little bit of discomfort in my shins. They definitely felt better than Friday
I saw the Dr. for my annual physical. It went well, he even checked out my heel and decided it was probably just a sprained tendon. Ice and ibuprofen. What surprised me was my pulse: 55 beats per minute. Wow! It hasn't been that low since high school, and that was at 10:00 am, so it was definitely higher than my resting heart rate. Definitely made me feel good about myself.
