got up this morning really feeling my right shin. instead of listening to my body (too many hours in the car over the past few days? ) I pulled on my compression socks and went out for a run. I ran a warm up mile @ 8:48 pace then kicked into gear after re-starting my watch and ran another 3 miles @ 8:22 pace (too fast for my strength pace which should have been 8:32). Shin was really on fire then. Most of the way through SRL and stopped to chat with Rex on his way back. Expressed my pain and went to flex my foot up to check shin and really felt pain. I tried to run, but only made it 4 or 5 strides then had to walk. I back through SRL to the coffee house, went in to leave message on Rex's phone. I could not walk the 2.75 back to my house. My leg hurts now. Boo. I wonder how many days off it will need? I have ice on right now...sitting on the couch my first official day of summer break at home....on the couch... :(
