Horrible

I need professional help!

I hate to start my blog off with an entry that is negative, but I can’t help it. My run today was absolutely horrible. I started off the run with shins that were already sore from previous runs this week at an increased pace. Usually the tightness in my shins is manageable but as I started to get into my run it just kept getting worse and worse. I let my pride suffer a great hit and I had to force myself to walk about 30% of the time. I knew it was the best thing to do not to make matters worse but the only thing it seemed to do was make me very frustrated. Once I finished the run I immediately went to the basement and hit the heavy bag to work some of it out. It seemed to be the only way that I could actually get a good workout today.

During the run I realized that I was unable to manage the the pain in my shins on my own. I finally admitted to myself that I *really* need to go see a sports therapist so they can help me take care of the problem. I am writing this in my blog to hold myself accountable. I know if I write it down that I’ll actually do it.
