I think I am hurt. :( When I started my run this morning something didn't feel quite right. About 1 mile in I felt a sharp burning pain in my left anteriomedial tibial approximately 2/3rds proximal to my ankle. No! I have felt this pain before. This poor lower leg has had it's fair share of problems, including: a prior stress fx, plantar fasciitis, anterior compartment syndrome, and medial gastroc tear. Even though I do what I can to prevent injury here the repetitive stress is just too much for it to handle oft times. I am convinced it stems back to my ACL repair (yep, way back in the day when they repaired the ACL instead of reconstruct it --1986). The repair was done before my growth plates were closed and I am fairly certain this is the biggest problem my little left leg faces. I stopped running and hopped on the bike. During my ride I convinced myself it was probably just some funky nerve ing and hopped back on the treadmill. First few steps weren't bad then bam ... It was back. Finished on the elliptical which was pain free. I am really hoping that it is merely a stress reaction and not fracture and that 1-2 weeks of relative rest will be adequate but am prepared for longer. Ogden full is likely out but if I am smart I will still be ready for the steeplechase and Spartan. Guessing I was running a little funky for fear of re injuring my calf, the faster miles certainly did not help. Dang. Happy Monday anyway, all. :) ------------------ Run 1.5 miles Spin 30 minutes Elliptical 20 minutes |
