The most annoying thing: shin splints are back, but guess what: it's now the other leg. Just a few days ago I had a scary bout of bad shin splints in my right leg, and now it's the left. It came on gradually on yesterdays long run, and got bad at around mile 10. I still finished my run (15 miles), and I didn't even slow down much. (Am I crazy?) I can alter my stride so that it won't hurt. Though it makes my running a bit less efficient, so it was more tiring at the end of the run.

It's probably just my crazy mileage of 57+ miles a week. I'm not sure how I will deal with the 61 this week. I haven't even decided if I will run today, but in no case I will run anything but easy. Really easy.
