Ah bless. Run slowly next time out! Take a painkiller last thing before bed tonight and hopefully all will be well. Are you running in proper shoes?

Yes, gait checked and everything! Think I've been going at it a bit fast! Must slow down, must slow down, and possibly take "Firestarter" by the Prodigy off the running playlist...

Ah that'll be it then! Yep, slow it right down. We said that didn't we! Naughty Allie!

Your skeleton needs time to get used to the sudden onslaught so you have to go slowly and progress steadily. I know sometimes you feel like you could go off like a rocket but resist. It's a wierd pain isn't it. It gets right into your bone doesn't it and pain radiates up and down the front of the leg. OUch

Have you got Neurofen or Ibufren? I'd get some but it only works when your muscles are at rest, eg in bed last thing at night before you kip

I know, sorry Miss. I am in the corner with my dunce's hat on! My icy bottle is helping no end, I've got some very sexy surgical stockings to wear and there's Ibuprofen in the cupboard. Lesson learnt :-)

I feel your pain. I know that feeling suffered myself during the summer months. Take it easy and rest and yes begone sore shins!!

I know, I know. There there. I'll make you a fresh ice pack and a nice cuppa tea

Hope you have a tea masher handy to save your legs. You rest up
