Shin splints

Did it mysef by overdoing things last weekend, just not thinking.

Ran a new route which is 2 3rds hill so putting new stresses on my legs and then later in the same day went for a walk with the family and they wanted to pace it so I was set as pacemaker

So 5k later walked at a sharpish pace average of 9.27 a k we got back to car warm and happy but there we are to much at this stage for these little legs as the following days proved

So now plenty of ice,rest and some stripping out/massage of the muscles and steady it down a bit

Lesson learnt though!

We've nearly all been there and if the lesson is learned it is a good thing.

Take it steady.

That's the ticket. And don't get downcast. It happens to the best of us, and you will get out there and run again - all in good time.

After some pretty serious stretching, icing and a bit of rolling pin I walked the dogs this evening and some good improvement
