Will it ever Heal?

I thought that things were going fairly well this week, but now I am not so sure. Every time I ran this week the shins would flare up a little and after 48 hours they would be fine again. They really seemed to flare up on Saturday when I ran a little harder, I would say about 1/2 effort. Maybe I shouldn't be running hard days just yet. I took Monday and Friday completely off from everything. I also ran Tuesday and Thursday and did some pool running again on Wednesday. When I start the run, I feel a little pull at the shins, but it goes away after about 10 minutes of running. I guess that this is when they are finally warmed up. I made an appointment to speak to the podiatrist I have been seeing in London again. Robert's official title is D.O. (MP).,D.Pod.M. Osteopath. Hugh, pretty cool. But I can't get in to see him until June 5th at 5:00PM. In the meantime I will keep trying to add to my distances at a slow pace.

The plan for this week:
Monday: Short easy run, 25 minutes or so ( already done, 4.27km at 25:15)
Tuesday: Easy Bike, to and from work
Wednesday: Easy Long run, 45 minutes
Thursday: Pool Running, 40 minutes
Friday: Easy Run, 30 minutes
Saturday: Easy, 20 minutes, if the shins feel ok

Last weeks training:
Tuesday: 6.11km at 29:45 (4:52 pace)
Wednesday: Pool Running
Thursday: 8.16km at 41:19 (5:03 pace)
Saturday: 6.07km at 30:19 (avg 4:58 pace, with a 5.08k at 22:40 or 4:27 pace)

I have been putting on a few pounds too, I am now up to 160. Gotta stay away from the sweets. 3 months ago I was around 152 to 154.
