Well...severe shin splints was not what I was expecting but I was relieved...and the cause more than likely, fallen arches aka flat feet.
So a set of Spencos and 2 weeks off of running, I went for the first mile last night.
Today I feel good. No feelings of pain in my right calf...nothing more anyway...and well, overall...just good.
So I'll take the Doc's advice, start slow, build slow...and 'baby' myself a bit as I ease back into running.
It's hard to tell yourself to pace, it's hard to start over for oh, the 3rd time now...but honestly...what does it matter? It's the running that's fun, it's the challenge...and I have both of those back. So no need to complain.
Happy Running!
