Anticipating the St. Paddy's Day Race

Rich and I are going to be running in Colorado Springs' St. Paddy's Day 5K tomorrow morning. I'm mostly really excited because I've been working really hard since Christmas to get back to my Pre-Paige shape, and I just really want to be a runner. I'm a little apprehensive at the same time because I had to take almost 8 weeks off from running because of shin splints (that have probably turned into stress fractures due to me being stubborn and running through them). I have been cross training, though, including Spinning, weight training, and the elliptical machine. I've been "running" for the last few weeks, but I'm keeping my speed at such an embarressing slow pace that I don't think I movement I am doing would be considered running (but I really don't want these stupid shin splints anymore!). So we'll see how it goes; it will be fun no matter what.
