Bad day. To begin with I have horrible shin splints which is scaring me. I can not do much until they are healed and then I wonder how running will go if they keep coming back. It is so bad tonight that I can not stand to take a step. Horrible. It probably didn't help that I was standing for about 2 hours this afternoon with no sit breaks. I am icing them later and taking some pain killers.
Then I fell off the wagon a bit. I have had about 4 pops today. We are eating pizza for supper and I can bet I will have another. Chalk that up to the fact that I've been running all day and pop was really my only option. Of course, I could have just said no. I know this. Back on track tomorrow. I was on a slippery slope all week, but I am not going to just give up. I stumbled, but I didn't fall.
I want to work out tonight, but I am not sure it will happen. My son is throwing a fit because he is bored and I am referring fights between him and his sister. They always fight when they are bored. Life isn't all roses and rainbows, though. He will get over it. Plus, not sure if I should work out or take a day off due to the shin thing. I will have to see how it feels.
All in all, bad day. I feel like a huge loser today. Hope tomorrow is better.

Shin splints are the worst! I hope that you recover soon and that there's no long term problems. You didn't do too bad though. Don't beat yourself up! Your 'bad' day yesterday had nothing on my bad weekend when Mom was in town. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI iced them last night and they are better today. I have not cheated on pop consumption today either. I hope the sin splints are due to the bad shoes and not something I am going to have to battle. I really do not know anything about them. I wonder if wrapping my legs before walking/running will help. I am supposed to start training on Tuesday. I do not want to put it off because that screws up my schedule and my motivation. Man, injuries suck!
