Ahh shin splints!

For the past week and a half i have had these things called shin splints. Shin splints is a term to describe pain and swelling in the front of the lower legs. the most probably reason why i have shin splints is due the increased mileage that the team has been running on pavement. To fight these pain i have been taking alieve and icing the affected areas. Trust me shin splints are something that i wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. These shin splints have bee affecting how i run, due to pain i cannot go as fast i would like. But they are starting to get better and i am looking forward to a fast, pain free race this weekend.
