I was trying to think of something to blog about today since my 2 mile run was uneventful, unless you count the continuous shin pain. Then my husband told me that my mother-in-law had asked about my shin splints and said that she loves to read my blog. That is a very nice thing to say since it is very weird to write, for the world to see, what is going on in your head. Well, I only share a very small part of the crazy stuff going on in my head. You don't want to go there. Seriously.
On a recent post on the Marathon Moms blog on Runner's World, Sarah said she was running for the other Marathon Mom, Dimity, who has a stress fracture in her heel and can't run for six weeks.
Marilyn, my mother-in-law, recently fell down some stairs and broke her collar bone and her wrist in two places. She's ok, but she's out of commission for six to eight weeks. She's lucky it wasn't worse.
Anyhow, Marilyn, my run this morning was for you. I kicked butt and ran through the pain until I couldn't feel it anymore. It was a great run. Hopefully my good-feeling vibes travelled all the way to you today.
And as a side note, I saw my gynecologist for my annual exam (yep that's fun) and told her I had shin splints from running. She suggested swimming, and then cycling. When I said no I don't think so she said...you guessed it... "I hate running." It was deja vu all over again.
Daily Running Log: 2 miles, 12:11 m/m, on the treadmill - it was REALLY foggy this morning so I opted to stay inside where I could see where I was running.
