I feel really wiped out.  I have no idea what the problem is.  I almost feel a little over trained but that's not possible since my mileage and intensity has been down for the past month.  I haven't been sleeping very well so maybe it is from lack of sleep.  Felt alright after a few miles but not as peppy as I would like.  I'm not expecting anything spectacular from tomorrow's 5K.

Total Time: 54:30 (7:34/mile)

Hey Andy,

I remember from one of your posts a while back that you ran thru some Tibial Stress fractures. Can you tell me what the symptoms were, how long the pain lasted, etc?

Thanks!

Typical symptoms are: localized pain, pain doesn't go away after warming up, can not hop on the leg that hurts.

I started experiencing discomfort in my left tibia in January 2004. I assumed that it was shin splints so I kept running. The pain worsened and I could start to feel it in my right tibia as well. Six weeks later I went to the doctor because I had a hard time walking and was diagnosed with stress fractures in both tibias. I ran a marathon 6 weeks after the doctor's appointment and was nearly pain free at that point.
