Running
Today sees the end of my first block of recovery runs. On Friday I start on walk 1 minute Run 10 minutes 3 times, so still 30 minutes of running but at a longer stretch each time.
Walk 1 minute and Run 7.5 minutes 4 times. Today I went just a little faster than Monday and finished up with spot on 5.5Km of running at an average pace of 5.27.
Today was my first run in my orthotics and by in large they felt pretty comfortable. It will take a couple of week for my gait to adapt though because I felt pretty graceless 
even though I was managing a nice pace today I felt like I was lumbering along and I was making a bit of noise with my feet. I also felt a slight dull ache down the front of my right shin, fortunately not near the site of my stress fracture, it wasn’t present during the walk back to my car though. I’ll keep an eye on it, though I think it may just be a result of the orthotic.
I gave in to the cold today and wore full length leggings and was quickly reminded why I prefer to run in shorts. Damn things wouldn’t stay up and every time I stopped for a walk break I had to hitch them up again.
I am having a pinball day today, my mind in jumping all over the place and I can’t settle down, I can’t focus on one thing for more than 5 minutes at a time.
This post is in danger of turning into a rambling pointless mess, better just go cook dinner.
