Not a happy camper.
Tuesday 20/06/06:
Up and at 'im at 5.45am, again lucked out and the nasty weather had calmed right down. Still a rather nippy 4 degrees or so, but only a light wind and no sign of rain. A stark contrast to yesterday at the same time...
Brisk walk warm up: 5mins
Steady paced run: 30mins (6kms)
Brisk walk cooldown: 5mins
Did my usual early morning out and back route, on the main roads. Was interested to see how my left lower shin area was going to feel, as have taken Voltarin for 3 days in a row then stopped and had 2 days off running. Felt fine while walking and although I could feel it, certainly was not painful to run on, just "there". The time I notice it most is going up and down my (carpeted) stairs and as the day has worn on, it is bugging me more and more.
Also today I have started to feel like I am coming down with another cold as I have a sore, dry throat, stingy eyes and a sniffle. Most unfair as I only just had one last month, that took 2 weeks to run its course. Considering my daughter is currently battling yet another head cold, its hardly surprising I suppose. No matter how careful you try to be, its just so contagious.
Wondering if I should book into my sports physio to get her to take a look at my leg, and sooner rather than later. One thing I have learnt about injuries is to seek help early on... hence hopefully avoiding a lot of time off. I have increased my milage a bit in the last month or so, but its still so low that I really can't understand what this is all about... Had planned an 8km run for tomorrow morning, but have just heard that 1 degree is expected overnight and that combined with the cold I fear I am coming down with, AND the sore leg, may just be too much...
Will wait and see how I feel at 5.30am...

Maybe you should get that shin checked out, if you have had a break and it is still bugging you it might be better safe than sorry.
Your morning weather sounds very much like Melbourne at the moment, was about 2 degrees this morning, so I ran this afternoon!

Yep, I know Melbourne is infamous for "4 seasons in one day" and Auckland is much the same... very changeable. Our summer temps don't usually get as warm as yours though, much to my disgust!
