Tough Shins Tougher Chin

I ran about 45 mins today - ouch! My shins were aching and I stopped - frequently - and stretched, massaged, and walked to try to loosen them up. I eventually found a nice stride that I seemed to be able to handle the pain with, and ran for about a mile. I wanted to make sure I wasn't just "toughing it out" at the expense of creating some type of injury so I took it as easy as I had to to stay on the track. All in all - lousy run but I stayed out there and feel the better for it.
