Don't try this at home

I completed the scheduled 9-miler around the lake with Mojo today. 

I shouldn't have because I didn't run the whole week.  I shouldn't have, my shins told me for the first 3 or 4 miles. 

Even after the shin pain eased up, I was feeling really tired and struggled to stay loose.  The whole right side of my body was tight; my shoulder and back ached as my body compensated for the pained right shin. 

Mojo and I stayed together for most of the first 4.5-mile loop but I quickly lagged behind after we started the second loop.  I was having an off day and had to focus all my willpower just to finish so did not have any strength to keep up with Mojo as he chased spandex behinds (his true motivation today, I think!). 

No more long runs without weekday runs to keep the body loose and warmed up.  Dumb move on my part today.
