Shin Splints

The pain and burning!

Why do I do this to myself.

I have shin splints and yet I'm still running.  But I must admit it looks really funny when I do so. : )

I have been keeping to my training plan, running 9 miles early last week (the longest to date).  This week it's the normal 3 days of 3 miles and 2 days of cross training.  My favorite cross training is a combo of yoga and yard work.  The big scary item coming up is 11 miles this weekend.  I was dying after mile 8 before and now I have 3 more to add to it.  And with the shin splints I'm just not sure how I'm going to do it.  My goal is to travel 11 miles.  I hope the majority of that is running, but only time will tell.
