24 miles, 3:00:00, AP 7:30 That is what I was supposed to be doing this morning. Instead, I slept in. When I finally got up, I iced my leg/ankle. Today will be a total rest day. Pain level is still high walking and my foot doesn't move quite right when I walk. My shin bone isn't really hurting when I push on it anymore which makes me think I may have had some mild shin splints, but there is something else going on. After a brief brush up on my anatomy, I realize the pain radiates along my posterior tibia tendon from about the spot where the shin pain was, down past my ankle bone to the side of my foot. Hopefully I've just sprained that tendon and a few more days in the boot will have me good as new, but the feeling of pain, discomfort, and lack of control of the foot is very similar to what I experienced when I ruptured my PF tendon. I may have to bite the bullet and go see the doc. I'll wait until next week and see how it's doing though. I'm sure I'll fork out a thousand dollars for them to tell me to stay off of it. |
