Hardest run in the last four weeks
yep, thats right…for some reason the front of my shins swelled up when I went for my run tonight and really slowed me down. It ws like all the muscles or tendons down the inside of my shin and across the top of my foot ballooned up or something. I had to stop and stretch it out like it was thick cold chewing gum. Because of this I didn’t run as far as usual. I also had to cut my run time short to 45mins to allow for a stop at the supermarket. Hate that…The bays were being hit by a light northerly breeze so the waves were not too big. The tide looked like it was low too. I saw a cop car with its lights flasing nearly run off the road. I smelt the burning rubber even in the breeze… and there was another mad photographer with tripod trying to shoot the harbour lights. It’s interesting what happens after 10pm at night on that winding road.

shinsplints? if they are, i used to get those really bad, but have changed my stride pretty drastically. you may want to check out the book born to run, lot of insight into why we sustain the injuries we do when we run.
