Personal:

I was a single mom. Two times over. We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions. Then, I met a man I didn't deserve. And he loves me so much. And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer. Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now. But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway. This is my failure blog now. Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

After a lot of research and more poking and prodding, I think this may all be from tying my shoe to tight that day. Shin splint is about 70% gone today. I decided that a few days of crosstraining now may save me heartache later. Sooo...

am. one hour recumbent bike

pm: 20 minutes cybex bike. jogged a few laps on the indoor track, felt pretty alright. 10 minutes elliptical. 10 minutes rowing machine. stretching. deep painful self-massage--felt great afterward though. One more day of crosstraining, then I am going on a normal run. Hoping for 100% gone tomorrow. I am more and more confident that this is a fluke and will disappear quickly.

I am the worst about wearing my shoes loose because I absolutely cannot stand tight shoes--- toes go numb, ankle feels compressed even when its not, too many nerve down there and YES calf problems. So wise you figured it out. : D.

I like the cautious approach, and wish I had that willpower to take a couple days off when it's called for.
