So there hasn’t been much to write this time. I’m forced to take a break from running for maybe another week to let these shin splints heal. I’ll start back slowly and hopefully in the process, give my calves a chance to recover. I’m pretty sure there’s no such thing as complete recovery for my alleged compartment syndrome, though. I think there are just varying degrees of pain.
Speaking of pain, I was thinking…is it possible the reason that after about 2 miles I don’t feel the stabbing, burning pain in my calves and shins (as badly, anyway!) is because of that endorphin thing? I think it is. Whatever, I’ll take it because it enables me to run. I just can’t seem to get up to 5 miles successfully.
Anyway, I have my eye on a 10K coming up in October…
