Christmas Eve Marathon Training

What a beautiful day for a run. This is perfect running weather. Again, you must live in a place that has consistently cold weather to truly appreciate another 50 degree December day, on Christmas Eve no less. It was in the low 30's when i started, but with the sun out it became a flawless morning for a four mile run.
I was feeling the effects of the rest of the miles this week on my shins. I had shin splints throughout the first mile or so. They did go away in the second mile, but I was pretty shore. Despite that, it was a pretty good run, the fastest 4 miles I have run during training. This was training run number 8, 16 miles for this week, and 31 miles overall.
With that, I will take an afternoon and day off to celebrate Christmas. I'll be right back at it on Monday morning with my 6 mile long run.
