Today was just hard. Back to the treadmill after the elliptical the last few workouts and my calves are letting me know they do not like the higher impact. But I pushed. I wanted to quit after ten... read more

Shin splints suck. Do you have ACE bandages and ice packs? The whole Rest Ice Compression Elevation thing does help. Ultimately I think shin splints are an unfortunate, mandatory part of the process. Like the smell of bodyglide. Blech.

Since I run at work, when I get done I kick my feet up on my computer tower under my desk and put baggies of ice on my shins. So I have the rest, ice, and elevation thing down. I wonder if we have Ace bandages around here in a first aid kit. Thanks John!

I decided to try the elliptical instead of treadmill for the lower impact of it. My shins feel great, I was able to go for longer, and my only complaint has to do with my own gangliness on the mac... read more

Due to my shin issues, I only went a mile today and I don't have pain. I have muscle soreness and I can tell I've worked my legs pretty good, but I'm not hurting. I'm vastly encouraged by this. ... read more

Shin problems continue to abound. Have had 2 weeks off, though tried a treadmill run yesterday & failed. Maybe on Monday I'll be ready again. :(

Yes!! Do a gait analysis. A good pair of shoes will be worth the investment.

Yeah! You CAN do it! Sounds like your motivation is there - hopefully a change in shoes/PT can make your body start cooperating! Is it any better when you're not on a treadmill?

alright treadmill ho hum 1.56 mi 00:25 16:01 pace
Today was harder than Tuesday. My leg muscles are sore and I believe this is because I can't drink water while on the treadmill (workplace rules) so I have to frontload it and I didn't do enough to... read more

YAY!! Remember to stretch before and especially after a run.
It's amazing what we can push through (especially pushing kids out!) I know exactly what you mean by frontloading the water before a run. I had to do it today too. It was "nice" enough for me to get outside.

I think stretching was my problem a couple weeks ago when I had to cut short a run, so I have made sure to stretch. Plus, I have weak hips and John (HellaSound) gave me some tips and a link to a physical therapy page detailing some hip strengthening exercises. Those are helping too. I think the pain is mostly because I'm new, out of shape, and need to just push through.

:) Remember, baby steps. Keep increasing running length a little bit at a time, maybe 10, 15 or 30 seconds. you'll be where you want to be before you know it. {{HUGS}}

Sister, you rule hell with an iron fist. I remember how tough it was starting out, and how incredibly long a single mile seemed. Keep kicking butt—you will simply amaze yourself with your progress in time, and it's completely worth it.

Stretching is good. I'd also suggest being fitted for running shoes. :)
