Ran just a bit too long yesterday: 11.7 miles not 11. Unsure why, but it felt good the entire time. This is a definite success. The pace was 8:43 on average, and the shins didn't hurt once. Went right home afterwards and iced them with the Dixie Cup method. Learned this neat trick from tc.
Fill dixie cups most of the way with water, freeze overnight, rip off the top half or so of the cup, invert, and ice those shins! Oohhhhhhhhh yeah, that's nice. Controlled icy goodness.
