Shin Splints

I knew something was seriously wrong when I started an easy morning jog today and all I could do was hobble, and ungracefully at that. It seems like time, age and most likely bad technique have caught up with me.

I'm quite certain that what was the usual minor strains, compounded into shin splints when I started running home from work with a backpack. Although the pack only contained my work clothes and shoes it was enough to change my natural running posture.

So for the next week, it'll be rest, ice, compress and some other type of cross-training activtiy. Them's the breaks.
