I'm also taking advantage of my Sunday off from training to strengthen my calves and shins. I've been getting shin splints on and off during my runs, so along with icing them I've been researching ways to strengthen those muscles to reduce shin pain. Runner's World website has a video on injury prevention dedicated to shins and calves. They show some good stretches, and exercises such as seated calf raises and a heel toe walk that should help!
Lazy Sunday

Today is a rest day. I managed to avoid some major sugar splurges yesterday, so I'm feeling good about that. I said NO to chocolate, cookies, and candy! In order to work on my "drink more water" goal this week, I've decided I need to make it taste better. I really like Vitamin Water 10, especially the orange and lemonade flavors. It makes drinking water much more enjoyable!
