Tuesday
Well.. Another day started and.. I am already ready to go home. yep..
yesterday got to 83 degrees here. Mind you I didn't get to enjoy that heat, I only got to enjoy the 73 heat of driving to softball..
What a painful night that was. Seems that with all my exercising, I have irritate my lower legs a bit more then normal. Fine when I am walking but running or doing sprints seems to iraritate them a great deal. A day of rest and they feel fine, so am thinking its not shin splints but maybe close. So... On my way home I bought arch supports for my shoes.. Wow those things are strange.
Now I have some what of flat feet so for me to need arch support is strange by itself.. However the hard part of this adventure is you don't know what will work or how high of arches you need. all the packages are sealed and not where you can take them out and test drive them. So.. I got what I thought would work. They are the jell kind and its killing me not to walk around asking "you jellen?" hehe..
Its hard to know if they are working since walk around does not seem to effect it but.. We shall see how they feel at the end of the day. Going to rest and put ice on it and pray that works. After reading online about the down time for shin splint, I don't want them so am going to take care of them so it does not turn into that.
Thinking that 50 mile's on Saturday, and then running for 3 hours of softball Sunday, and then three hours yesterday might be a bit much for my little shins..
Ice and rest for tonight at least and play tomorrow by ear.. That is all I can do.
Hope the weather is nice where-ever you are and enjoy it.
