2/7/16 to 2/13/16: Cautious Mileage & a New Mile PR

Another solid week of running, though I'm in a bit of a holding pattern regarding a second or third weekly workout.  My stupid shins are showing signs of becoming an issue, and instead of continuing to do workouts, like I have in the past, I'm very cautiously continuing to run.  

On Saturday, I was entered to run the mile at the BU Valentine Invitational...I'll do a separate race report for that.

Here's the stuff:

7-Feb		Long Run		2:28:54		19.1		AM: 19+ at around 7:50.  Was in the mid to low 7s by the end.  Right shin held up for the run, but I felt like I was running on egg shells the whole time.
		Off		0:00:00		0		PM: Another full session on the foam roller.
8-Feb		Easy		0:56:12		7.2		AM: 7+ commute at just under 8per, right shin OK, but not great.
		Easy		1:30:00		10.15		PM: 10.15 at something in the 8s or 9s.  Snow storm, slippery, stopped at TJs.  Shin was tender, but not as worrisome.
9-Feb		Easy		0:58:24		7.2		AM: 7+ commute at around 8/per.  Watch a bit off I think, but slippery out there.  Shins felt absolutely fine.  Not sure about a workout tonight though.
		Moderate		0:56:45		7.23		PM: 7+ commute home with 2 moderate miles, 2 up/down Appleton repeats, and a few strides.  Shin was fine, but I don't want to push it with a full blown workout.
10-Feb		Easy		0:56:59		7.2		AM: Another somewhat slippery commute. 7+ at around 8 per.
		Easy		1:04:51		8.15		PM: 8+ at just under 8min per commute home.
11-Feb		Easy		0:56:02		7.2		AM: 7+ commute at 7:50per.  Felt tired.
		BU Track		1:52:00		14.09		PM: 800x3/600.  800s pacing Amory at about 5min pace.  600 was my goal mile pace.  I went out a bit quick, but settled in and hit 1:44.8.  Exactly where I wanted to be.  After the three 800s it was tough, but a good primer for Saturday.  Did some strides and a 200 to finish up.
12-Feb		Easy		0:41:52		5.15		AM: Easy run into work in some frigid temps.  5+ at 8+.
		Easy		0:34:28		5.03		PM: Commute home 5+ at whatever.
13-Feb		Easy		0:00:00		0		AM: Recovering from taco night & homemade margaritas.
		Valentine Invitational		0:15:00		2.5		PM: BU Valentine Invitational.  4:44 for the mile.  Happy with the result, and I think I left some time on the track.
