After almost 2 weeks off due to shin splints, traveling, and being sick, I attempted to go out today. I waited until 12:30 and it was 65 out, really nice. I made it .75 running with my new belly brace (which was nice until about then and then it was too much pressure) when the shin splits kicked in hard and I had to walk. They burn so bad! I had forgotten how bad they can be. So I walked back. The crappy thing about walking is that my hands get all swollen from being straight down. It's been a pretty nice holiday for me. I've gotten to relax quite a bit and get some things done too. It was fun to see Ruthie this morning too! :) |
