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.

I really want to start keeping track of this again...I kinda fell out of the groove, even though I have still been working out. I have shin splints, which really, really sucks. I tried to work through it, and the got worse. I've been icing daily and work, and taking days off here and there. But I just really need a break, so I'm going to try biking instead of running for now.
