Owieee. The left shin was hurting last Saturday after the 24 mile run. Then on Monday night instead of taking it easy, I pushed it and on the last 300M segment Johnny and I sprinted in to finish the workout. Ouch, I knew I shouldn't have done it.
Well, Wednesday night the easy 3 miles at Williamson County Park hurt all the way. These were slow careful easy miles, and they all hurt.
So I iced the shin real good yesterday afternoon at work, and last night at home, and today at work whenever I could. I also bought an Ace stretch bandage during lunch today and put it on after the icing.
I've called off the 15 mile run that we were going to do on this Saturday. And with all this, Karen H. went to see Dr. Speers today to see if she has a hairline fracture in her left leg. She is going in on Monday for an MRI, so she won't be running this Saturday either.
Amazing, we both ran a great 24 miles last Saturday, and this Saturday will be a zero miles day. My goal is to hurry up and get better so I can get back on the Boston training plan. Boston is 4 weeks away from this weekend. |
