I'll be sitting on the bench for a while. I went for a short test run to the nearby middle school to vote. I kept a slow pace but I could definitely feel the pain in the back of my knee. It was not bad, and were I a couple years younger and dumber I would have just run through the pain. But I have decided to shut it down for a couple of days, enjoy the beginning of baseball season, get some projects done, and strength train my upper body.
So my time should not be a loss, and perhaps this little rest will finally put an end to my brief shin splints episode for good.
To be honest I will still probably go out everyday and walk a bit, perhaps jog a quarter mile and see how I feel. So I will keep my young blog full of posts, and I'll keep reading yours. But for now, Play Ball!
