MTSS, or shin splints. I've got a case of them apparently. Went to see Bruce last week and the massage seemed to work but the pain was there. So, stretching, ice, rest, the usual. The pain has lessened over the last couple of days so I figured I would give it a try, nothing to fancy, fully prepared to walk home if need be. The weather today was perfect, cold but clear and no wind. So I started out and headed down into the park for a quick lap around. I didn't feel any pain at all until just about 3.5km but it wasn't anything terrible. I finished strong even though I felt like I was dying, man am I out of shape and way too heavy but it's been eight weeks of easy living and more than time to get serious. Then my leg got sore and now I am seemingly starting over again but at least I am starting over. I was pretty happy with today, it was just nice to run. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. I iced and stretched today after and my leg feels okay right now.
