Minor shin pain

I took yesterday off while waiting for Sears to come service my treadmill. The welds on part of the frame are broken, rear bearings are going, etc... They're going to replace it. This is the third time I've 'broken' the frame and the second time they're going to replace it. The service plan was well worth the money - thanks for the recommendation Dad.

My right shin was a little sore yesterday after Friday's run so the day off yesterday came at a good time. Ran 17 today and generally felt better than last weekends long run, although there was a little pain in the shin. Not enough to make the run miserable or cause any other issues by altering my stride. Iced it this afternoon and again now. Tomorrow's a scheduled off day and if there's still any pain I'll go ahead and take Tuesday off as well. I really want to start the marathon without any injuries and actually complete the race without hitting the dreaded wall. Last year I really struggled through the last 6 miles and was miserable.
