Ran so slow...

...I could see the grass grow.  I read on a blog that I follow that a common training mistake runners make is to run their slow runs too fast and their slow runs too slow.  So I took it s-l-o-w today.  It was pretty much as slow as I could run without walking.  Hardly even lost my breath.  I think before my shin trouble I was over-training.  At least not getting enough recovery between hard runs.  I looked back at my training log, and here's what I saw that caught my eye:  Sat. 10.5 miles long run, Mon. 4.0 miles recovery run,  Tues. 4.0 miles, legs still tired, probably ran too fast yesterday, Wed. 3.0 miles, very tired legs, Thurs. 3.0 miles, very tired legs, had to walk a lot.  This is when I had my shin trouble.  Anyway, I'm hoping it's behind me now.
