Shins & Calves

So that's all I can think about these days. My shins and my calves hurt. A lot. All the time. My friend told me today that she heard the first 3 miles is the hardest to get through, but after that adding a little bit every week isn't so bad. I hope that's true for me. I'm still right at the 3 mile mark and it's killing me. I still HATE running, but know that it will be a great feeling to cross the finish line. That's the only reason I'm doing this. Well, that, and to get in shape.
