hmpf.
i need to run 3 miles today. right now.
but i don't wanna.
i don't wanna, i don't wanna, i don't wanna.
its steamy muggy hot and rainy out, my shins hurt and i don't wanna.
i don't WANNA!
but its 10:25, and i leave for the gym in 5 minutes, and i am stuck in i don't wanna vs. i gotta mode.
we'll see what happens.....
--------------
ok. i attempted pull-ups, per my IRONWORX coach guy dude.. i still can't do them.
and then....
i ran.
2.84 miles/ 29:06 =
noooo. ok. this can't be right. that = ..... no. nope. i'm not even WRITING it because i know its not right. thats impossible.
i did however stop every half mile to stretch my calves/shins, as my shin splints WERE SCREAMING AT ME. so maybe catching my breath helped me run so fast?
but noooo... def'ly can't be right.
anyway. i'm thinking i need to take some time out to ice my shins tonight.. if anyone else out there has any bright ideas for my shins, lemme know!

Stretch and get a very good massage.

take good care of them. i didn't, i sucked it up and ran thorugh them and broke my friggin' leg!
ice, rest, stretching (very well, before and after) and tape them. you want to tape the muscle from the back and push it against your shin bone (around from the inside). tape it tight before you run. be religious with the stretching and icing and whatever you do, don't suck it up and push through if you are really hurting.
