Training again and now raising funds for Diabetes research!

Well, my shin splints seem to have responded to some rest, ice and Advil. I took 9 days off with no running at all and now I have only a dull ache in my left shin when I run. I now have a 9 mile run and a 6 mile run since starting again and I think it's going to be fine to pick up where I left off. I'm determined to do what I can to avoid further injury. I intend to run most of my miles at a slower pace (~10 minute miles) and to not race as often. I'll probably take 3 rest days per week. I expect to run a long day each weekend and one other medium hard day during the week. I think I have just enough time to get a couple of 18-22 mile runs in and should be able to complete the full Marathon in late July.
Also, I am now raising funds for Diabetes research! I have joined Team Diabetes to help raise funds for The American Diabetes Association.
