Shin Splints and other assorted stuff.

Managed a good 25km mountain hike with a 13kg pack on Saturday 7th March. Felt really strong and managed to back it up with a 10km run on the Sunday. Knocked over the fastest 10km I've ever done on the Tuesday and then backed that up with an hour of sprints on the Rugby Field on Wednesday. That's when my drama started...... I decided to do a 600m sprint to finish off the session and as I ran between the rugby pitchs I felt something Twang in my left shin splint area. It had been stiff for a few days but now I'm a bit concerened.
The upside however is that after 2 years out of the pool, I have rediscovered swimming and have been easily rolling over 2km. I did run 12km at Mooloolaba last Sunday but then the shins started aching whein I attempted to run on Tuesday, So it looks like it's all Bike and Pool for me for the next week and Hopefully I will be good to go for the 30km Wild Horse Night on the 28th.


On a sadder note, I am retiring my original Salamon Shoes as I have finally run them through. Something I've never done to a pair of shoes before!
