Running, Week 17

I finished my 17th week of running since I started training.  I finally feel like I am getting back to my pre-holiday shape.  Today was a second 3.2 mile around Astoria Park without breaks and I felt pretty good.  I got tired after the first lap, but I was able to rest a bit during the downhill portion of the second 1.6 lap and finished without a problem. I felt a little bit of discomfort in my right shin again.  Will try to run with the knee brace next time, and see if that makes a difference.  I feel pumped for the busy week ahead.
