I feel recovered from the race now and I was actually ready to run about 3 days after, but my left shin is still in pain, even when I walk. It gets progressively better each day though, so I'm not seeing a doctor. I'm sure a doc would just tell me I have a bone bruise and tendonitis in my anterior tibialis. When I flex the muscle I can feel it creaking against the bone. Kinda gross. Looks like I'll be a stationary bike and elliptical junkie for the next couple weeks to keep my fitness up, which really sucks because this is my favorite time of year to be up in the mountains. |
