Not good news. I warmed up to do a workout, but the shin was just too sore. I limped along for 4.5 miles at just under 8 min pace and it wouldn't get any better. I have had a stress fracture once and it felt a little bit like this. Hopefully it's just tissue damage near the bone. The pain shoots up and down my leg and weakens it to the point where it feels like it might buckle. Most days aren't this bad.

I think my new game plan for the marathon on the 31st is to try to x-train and maybe jog a few minutes a day and see if that will get me to the line.

Shoot, Johnny. You're right, that definitely isn't good news. I'm bummed to hear about it. Get some ice on it and I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Sorry to hear about the injury. Do you think it is a SF or shin splints?

Hope the time off and x-training will work and allow you to run the marathon. If not, don't push it and get injured worse, there are other races to run later this year.

So I guess I’m an activist at heart. I noticed we’ve only had 13 votes but 144 views and there are more of you out there. I know some people don’t use the discussion board of the blog so I’m posting this comment on everyone’s blog that has updated in the last few days or so to bring your attention to both the discussion section and the mileage board. Please read the discussion here (http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,324.0.html) and then vote here (http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,348.0.html) if you have an opinion. If you already voted, I am sorry about the “spam.” Thank you!
