3 x 1 mile in 6:16, 6:08, 6:10. Easing into things. No complaints from the legs beyond the usual aches and pains.

I think it's time to start ramping up the volume. I'm still getting aches from the lower right leg, but I'm not sure at this point whether it's posterior tib or shin splints. Dull ache instead of the sharp pain the tib had been giving me. For the most part, no pain while running. I figure I can either live in fear of it or (intelligently) ramp things up and see how it responds.

I spoke too soon. I went out for a run yesterday morning and the posterior tib flared right away. Sharp pain. No doubt it's the tendon.

I don't see any option besides taking extended time off. I've been trying to rehab while limiting myself to easy pace for 2.5 months, and with just 3 light speed sessions it's come back fully. Gotta get it right so it stays right.

Hoping to cross traing through the down time. I pulled out my road bike and will have to do a few repairs to get it road worthy, but maybe I can handle some elliptical work in the meantime.
