My knee was pretty much normal today, just tiny hints of tender like twice. On the second half of the workout, while on the bike, I did have a new pain in the middle of my RIGHT shin. Similar to shin splints but more sharp, less pounding if that even makes sense. It went away eventually though. It was defiintely strong for a while though. And kind of throughout the day I have felt it too. Like right now my leg is still but I can feel a nagging sharpness in that area. Super weird...maybe it's from biking?

Last night J and I went to a concert, throughout the concert my back hurt a lot more than usual, but then my ass started hurting just from turning, so I realized it was all workout related, ha! Those lunges were a B word. I didn't notice when I was doing it, but I noticed today...every time I try and walk.
I didn't notice my knee hurting standing, but when we went down the stairs, it screamed in pain at every step. So that's a little concerning. But it's semi normal today, so that's good. As in, it hurt first few pumps of bike, but was totally cool after that. And it only hurts if a turn it funny when I cross my legs for a second.
At least I can have Dr. look at my knee too when they look at my shin. Pros and cons?
Workout:
So currently, on the bike, my base is gear 12, push gear 16, all out 20 standing, and recovery 10, just for reference.
3G today (hell week really is hell)
My pod didn't work today, so I don't have my calorie count, but they've been near 600 or over every day!
Warm up
All outs are starting at 22 standing, and gradually down to 20 depending on length of time.

my shin
I interupt these workout messages with a shin update.
The clinic called today with X-ray results. The not super with it nurse said, the X-ray was clean, but there was "non-specific findings of sclerosis".
Whatever that means. All I know is that I shouldn't have googled.
Of course my mind jumps way too easily.
All I wanna do it be healthy so I can workout like this forever.
BARF.
They referred me to Ortho, and I have an appointment for Nov 9th. Hopefully it's nothing! I should have asked more questions on the phone, but I didn't really trust her knowledge and she seemed really rushed. I asked if it could have caused the pain and she said hesitantly yeah it was most likely due to that. They also think it's from a previous injury, she asked if I've ever had one, and I can't think of anything.
Also my knee really hurts today. In trying to poinpoint the pain, it's when my bottom part of my leg is twisted in to the right, so when I swing my right leg from under my chair, up towards my straightened left leg to cross it (this is a lot of times how i sit on the edge of my chair), I can feel it then. Or if I'm trying to find it, when i hold my right foot steady with my left foot, and try and push my knee towards my other leg/rotate my knee towards my other knee.
Just for a record ya know ;)

My knee was acting up a bit today. Just when I first started biking, per usual. And then I did a pigeon stretch at the end, where you bend your knee in front and bend forward. No way jose, that was not good for it. Didn't crazy a lot, but if I would have pushed it it would have. And it kinda hurts after having done that. So it's something with rotation. As long as I'm mindful of that. I realize how often I cross my ankles at work, because I've been trying not to hoping that's not screwing up my knee. I natrually sit kinda like knees apart, ankles crossed nad back under my butt, if that makes any sense.
But it feels fine now so that's good. Shin is doing well. My other ouside shin (R) has been a little soar lately, during workouts and such. But i'm thinking that's just a compensation thing.

I definitely worked out last Friday, but from work chaos, forgot to upload the workout.
My shins and knee felt totally fine today. Thank god. Let's just hope nothing else crops up, so these bitches can heal.
Dancing this past weekend at the wedding and other times I don't remember...oh driving 6 hours friday and sunday, my knee was a little painful, but today it was fine, so that's great!
I love how I feel strong and capable. But I hate how I know how much crazy better and more powerful I would feel if I was eating better.
I love how strong my arms are getting. But I hate how masked they are since I'm not eating better.
I love how hard my leg muscles are getting from biking. But I hate how much the jiggle in the mirror when I do jumping squats.
This could qualify as self body shaming. Well, yes it does, I shouldn't even try and hide it. I have shame right now for my body. But I still love it more. So I think that makes it OK? I don't know. It's hard to be PC about health, and not make people worried about you. I think it's safe to say that, yes being healthy brings me tons of joy, but the rest of my joy in life, is larger and is not hidden by the lack of a different joy I get when I'm not healthy.
That makes no sense. Regardless. My body isn't great right now, but damn is my life still full and i love it. But I'm excited to get my eating into shape and reflect the rest of joy in life with my body. So they match!
Oh my gawd I'm rambling so much.

My left shin hurts less and less every day which is good. The Dr called today with Xray results, but I didn't answer. And when I tried to call back I was on hold for 20 min so I gave up. Today my right leg was a little sore, but in a different way. Also, my right knee has started to hurt at the start of biking, it usually goes away though throughout the workout.
That's kind of frusterating though. It's like my body is saying, oh, you wanna heal that part, then we're gonna f up this part in a trade off. Ugg.

Well, that did not go great...however, it was the fastest clinic appointment I've literally ever had.
I checked in, literally just opened instagram and got called back!
The nurse made a joke about being a hypocondriac...which I was already paranoid about, so thanks for that.
The "doctor" didn't even know what shin splints were. I mean come on...couldn't she have just googled it quick before coming to see me?
As always, she was super rushed and impersonal.
She said we could do an xray just to be certain, even though she didn't see any swelling.
I was embarassed, so I didn't say all the things I had researched (like shin splints can lead to a stress fracture, my timeline was identically to those described in articles, i had specific pain in a specific area, x-rays don't always show the fracture...etc.).
However, let's take a moment to appreciate that this is the worst of my medical concerns right now, and that I have the means to go in for something as stupid as shin splints.
I fully recognize this, just for the record:)
Really, I don't know what more I was hoping for. Since either way, I will take at least 4 weeks off to be safe. But golly gee do I miss running. I'm learning more about my body and what it needs/can do on the bike. But it's still not the same. I miss the ease of the treadmill telling me what to do, rather than me having to control my pushing.

I'm pretty sure I will end up going to my appointment on Tuesday, though my shin isn't nearly in as much pain as after I run, it's randomly still sore. Over the weekend, going down stairs caused a sharp pain. Going for a walk there was a tiny bit. Thankfully when I biked and lifted today, there wasn't any.
Hopefully, regardless of what they do or don't find, I hope I can keep cross training. Though if I'm not able to run, I'm going to have to start eating better.
Scratch that I should start eating better no matter what.
Bleh.
I really miss running.

I'm having the hardest time deciding if I should keep my appointment for my shins on Tuesday. Mostly because my insurance has changed, so it might end up being way more expensive than I think. And I hate to generalize...but the chance of the Dr not really listening and saying just stay off it for a week or two...is highly likely.
There's a few scenarios.
I go, they say it's just shin splints, to take a couple weeks off. This either works or doesn't work and I have to go back
I go, they take an x-ray, find something good or bad, and I at least know if it's serious or not.
I guess I have a few more days to decide though. For today, I rode the bike, which was nice because it didn't hurt at all. I didn't leave limping.
Last night it was not tender to the touch, and that's when my doubt started, is it really not anything? But today, even after being careful, it is tender to the touch, in that same spot, about a third up my leg underneath/right on the rim of that flat part of bone.
And now, i just starting looking at google images, and that sharp pain does seem to be where the stress fracture occurs. Uggg. I guess it just depends on what the pain feels like when you actually have fracture. It's proven hard to research but maybe I should try harder?

There's a few scenarios.
I go, they say it's just shin splints, to take a couple weeks off. This either works or doesn't work and I have to go back
I go, they take an x-ray, find something good or bad, and I at least know if it's serious or not.
I guess I have a few more days to decide though. For today, I rode the bike, which was nice because it didn't hurt at all. I didn't leave limping.
Last night it was not tender to the touch, and that's when my doubt started, is it really not anything? But today, even after being careful, it is tender to the touch, in that same spot, about a third up my leg underneath/right on the rim of that flat part of bone.
And now, i just starting looking at google images, and that sharp pain does seem to be where the stress fracture occurs. Uggg. I guess it just depends on what the pain feels like when you actually have fracture. It's proven hard to research but maybe I should try harder?

Yesterday during the rest of the day, my shin didn't hurt as bad. Last night I don't remember it hurting a ton. This morning though, it was throbbing a bit. I almost thought about not going to the gym, and then of course the realistic thought of, I won't fall back asleep well anyway, crept in, and I went!
I just biked this time, which I think was a good option. I definitely don't get as good of a workout, it's so hard to get my heart rate up. Even though I feel like I'm working really hard. The lady that used it after me stood up the whole time I think, maybe I should try that. I'll have to ask the trainer tomorrow.
I did make an appointment though for the clinic, next week Tuesday. I'm already regretting it though, as my shin feels fine since I biked, and it barely hurts to the touch right now. I'm just afraid that it will be a waste of time and $25...if they just tell me, you need to rest it. I really want an xray or something just to be safe. Oh well, I'll risk it.
We'll see!
Workout today:
26 minutes on bike. blah.

12 step ups on bench with weights, each side
6 lateral lunges + bicep curl, each side

Something bad is happening to my shin. But it's something confusing, because right now it's fine...but last night and this morning I could barely walk without it twinging with pain. It's no longer both legs which is good, but it's the lower inside of my left leg that is flaring. That's what makes me worried that it's further injury from shin splints. Since clearly the shin splint part went away in my other leg.
It was fine during my workout yesterday, but by the end of the day, when I walked through my door, i could barely walk to the couch to the fridge without limping. It was really weird. It was sore to the touch too. When it's in that painful state, it hurts the most when I'm taking a step, and lifting off with the back foot.
And then this morning, about halfway through the tread portion, it started to get pretty painful, but only between sprints. It was fine when I was finally running. When we moved to the rowers, I kept my lower body stationary and just did arms because it was painful, but my second chunk of rowing was fine (after bosu excersizes). So it's obviously inflamed from certain activities. The sprinting at the end was really bad at first, but hurt less with each sprint. Walking to the car hurt a little...but after sitting in the car and then walking to my work door-SO BAD. So when it gets a break, that's not cool either.

My shin splints were OK today, which is great. Every once and awhile the left side pops up, especially to the touch. The right leg is pretty much good to go.
I've noticed I can't maintain the same speeds I was once able to. And I think a huge part of it is what I'm eating. When I was in full Whole30 mode and working out everyday, good god it felt amazing. And now I'm just a little sluggy. At my height, my base is comfortably speed 6, push 7.5 and all out 9...sometimes a little more. Now I can barely keep 6, i usually stay at 5.5, push is 7 and 8.5-9 is all out.
Just more motivation to keep working towards better eating!
But not today. I want a sandwhich today.

My shin splints were OK today. When we switch off run, floor, run floor, it's really hard on them. But there's not really a way to get around that so that's a bummer. On the plus side, it's only my left lower shin. It hurts sharp to the touch...but doesn't hurt throughout the day right now. So I think i'm going to keep running on it for now, and if it goes back to the pain it was previously, then I will go in and get it checked so I don't do permenant damage. My legs are so tight from running again, I really should get better at stretching.
Meanwhile...my clothes have gotten really snug.
UG hate that.
