Well, yesterday's test run went not well at all. I felt residual shin soreness at the time, and this
morning, my right shin was quite sore.
So, I bit the bullet and got an appointment to see the sports doc. She ordered an x-ray and the
stress fracture was plainly visible, just a little bump on the bone, but it packs a nice punch.
I have permission to do a gentle test-run 3-4 weeks out and see how it feels. Until then, it's
riding the bike on the rollers and lifting weights. Whoooo hooooo.
On glimmer of sunlight in this sad (and boring) saga is that I got referred to PT at the running
clinic, where they can look at my form and mechanics and offer me some advice about these chronic
shin splints. That should be interesting.
So now, I go into rehab hibernation.
Ciao.
