Let me start by getting this off my chest first — I haven’t been running! In fact, I haven’t ran since Saturday, and I only did like 15 minutes on the hotel’s treadmill, or shall I say dreadmill<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, on Saturday (September 4th) I was feeling fine running on the treadmill and set it at approximately at a 11min\/mile pace. I did notice, however, that I was making quite a bit of noise as I landed — it sounded as if I was stomping in rage, or something to that effect! It’s not like I didn’t warm up, either — I did a brisk walk for 5 minutes, ran for 10 and then cooled down for a few seconds with a walk. I followed that with stretching and then the weight machines they had at the gym: I worked my quads, butt, back, and chest and then did some free weights with the dumb bells. I didn’t do much — probably a set (or two) of about 14 repetitions at very low weights (less than 10!)<\/p>\n

Afterwards, we went on with our brekkers, then wine tasting. Later that day, or rather at the end of the day (and after our 2-hour car ride home) my left foot give way, felt pain on my left shin and briefly couldn’t put any weight on that leg! The feeling was like, as if I had kicked a tree with my shin and it felt sore and bruised! There were no visible bruises, though — no swelling or anything like that and I definitely did not<\/em> hit anything with that shin (and no, I wasn’t drunk — we went wine tasting, not drinking ;))<\/p>\n

Nearly a week later, the left shin pain acts up here and there, but I can bear weight on it. I’m somewhat worried it’s a micro-fracture of some sort. Can you tell I self-diagnose? Still, I don’t really want to see a doctor for fear of what he might say (i.e., that it is<\/em> a fracture). Or it could be nothing! Probably shin splints from wearing my sister’s high-heeled Cole Haan<\/a> sandals (they’re supposed to be comfy cos they’ve got Nike Air! LMFAO) Ugh. We’ll see… I have a 15mi run scheduled tomorroz (run 13, walk the remaining mileage) and my first triathlon (sprint-distance) is exactly a month away. If the run goes well, I’m going to take next week off and do some non-impact workouts instead (just to be on the safer side). If it goes awry, then well, I’m heading to the doctor. \ud83d\ude41 I’m hoping it’s the former, though.<\/p>\n

Onto my workout mashup for the week of September 6th – 10th:<\/p>\n

Monday (September 6th)<\/strong>
\nLabor Day. Was on the road nearly the entire day. No training.<\/p>\n

Tuesday (September 7th)<\/strong>
\nLap swim 650m; Bike 11mi. Felt ok. Shin was fine, albeit felt some “light” pain later that day.<\/p>\n

Wednesday (September 8th)<\/strong>
\nLap swim 650m. Also, I ate too much >_<<\/p>\n

Thursday (September 9th)<\/strong>
\nHalf-assed strength training around 10PM because I felt guilty I missed my workout earlier that evening and ate too much. LMFAO<\/p>\n

Friday (September 10th)<\/strong>
\n40 minutes strength training + core. 35 minutes of P90x’s Arms and Shoulders routines, and 5 minutes of abs. ROFL. Again, ate too much >_<<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
