Don't be hard on yourself. Take as many rest days as you need ..

Hopefully it isn't Shin Splints - take a look at this may be helpful

All I'd say is you should get a good night's sleep before your next run👍🏾. It's hard to do your best if you're tired. Have a relaxed restful evening. Tomorrow is another day😊

Rest and let it fix... the run will not go anywhere. Hope it’s not too bad.
