Well I finally got the green light to run again. Today I went for a 20 min run at the gym on the treadmill. Well I really worked on my form and kept the pace right down. I noticed the left leg was getting sloppy after about 5-10 minutes so I began making sure I point the toes up as I’m bringing up the left leg. Made certain I brought up as high as I naturally bring up the right leg. I noticed that the muscle on the outside of the shin was really working from this change as well as the tissues at the front of the Ankle. I’m going to make sure to get back slowly in to it and really concentrate on the form of my gait.
My shin splints seem to be gone now. Even the little balls under the skin have been taken care of from the ultra sound. After my run I did extensive hamstring stretched. They are extremely tight and I need to really loosen these up. We no run tomorrow, I’ll use the new stair trainer that we got. Can’t wait to get some outdoor running in. The weather is just horrible, lots of snow, another storm today!
