I used to run a lot, but fortunately never had a shin splint issue. The best advice that I learned way to late was to replace my shoes far more often than I did. A professional trainer for the Chicago Bulls taught a class at the FBI Academy, and he told us that 500 miles should be max on a pair of running shoes, and 300 would be better. I would wear a pair for the whole year because I was too cheap to replace shoes that still looked good. Doing the new shoe routine, along with limiting running too much on the sloped road shoulder made a hugh difference for me, primarily on saving my knees. At 62, the knees are still good, but it was arthritis in my hips and big toes that finally ended my running. CARPE DIEM

I have been short on time so I was only able to do 100 push ups last night for a workout. Surprisingly sore, broke that into 5 sets too.

Still hitting the Gym three afternoons a week with a morning run and still doing the full pack hikes. It has finally cooled a bit here right before sunrise.

Ended up taking a couple days off from running this weekend. Only ended up running 4 days last week, 40.1 miles total. Feeling a bit over trained and needed the rest days for my legs after a 20 miler on Friday morning. Got some chores done around the house though.

Think I'll get back after it this week.

I did a workout that was out of the ordinary on Saturday morning, was time to shock my body a little bit because my weight training was getting to be a bit routine. I did all of the exercises that I normally do for one of my workouts, but only one set on each with as many reps as possible. I am sore today, but not as bad as yesterday.

This mornings run.

Yesterday morning I took a 50lb pack and hiked up and down the levee by my house for a half hour. That was an eye opener.

Yes sir once you throw on the pack its a whole different world. When I was doing 50lbs I averaged a 15minute mile over 4 miles. This year with 70lbs now averaging 18-20minute mile over 4 miles. When it is cooler I do better. I also always wear the same boots and socks I wear on my hunts. Keep it up you will get used to it pretty fast and you will learn a bunch about pack fit and weight distribution.
