Shins felt a little weird, but in new spots. I have a feeling that once preseason starts it won't be an issue. It's weird to think that in all likelihood this is the last time I'll ever run at home while training for something meaningful. Funny because at the end of the school year I didn't really feel anything special when I finished my last class, or took my last final. The only times it really felt like the end of college were when I realized that I had run my last track race, and also the morning of graduation. You would think that in the time leading up to these things there would be some big emotions but life just sort of went on. You can't really appreciate it until it's happening.
I've got 3 months (and 2 days) until retirement from running, but even though I keep saying that I really can't comprehend it yet. It's not that I'm like terribly upset about it, considering that I got an extra 6 months that I didn't think I had, but I guess it's just been a big part of my life for the last 8-10 years and I have to learn to deal with that.
