Tuesdays tempo and a second run thrown in there and a swim!

How's the calf/shin is the first thing I think of when I wake up nowadays and this morning it felt the same as usual...achy with slight discomfort on the first few steps then after a little while it's fine to walk on so I then do a quick run up and down on the spot to test it out a bit more and this morning was the same as every other morning, a slight pain that's about a 3/10 on the pain scale.

Anyway as it's not getting worse I kept up with this mornings planned session. A 2km warmup then a 5km tempo and a 4km warmdown.

I managed to do the 5km in a little over 19min30sec so I was happy with that. I was even more happy that my shin had no pain doing the tempo but on the last 4km running easy it got to a 4-5/10. Came good after I stopped though. 11.4km done in total

I then headed off to the pool and got 2km in there. I almost stopped after 1km because I was finding it bloody boring swimming along the black line but then thought I paid $6.20 to do this bloody swim so 1km wasn't enough.

Later on I got a 10.1km done in 47:05. Shin/calf was good until the last 3km when it bacame slightly achy
