Ok so muscle spasms prevented me from running today. Well sort of. My first mile through the pain and spasm was 18:01 so I got off the treadmill (I know I need to be outside but it was too late) and I stretched. And then I lifted some weights. I did some leg lifts and leg curls with weights and stretched it out some more. Because of the shin splints I changed it up and used the elliptical machine. I pushed it hard and timed it with what my regular miles would have been so 15 minutes per mile for 2 miles for 30 minutes. It was good it took all the pressure off my shins and allowed me to really sweat and work it out.
So a compromise of sorts. Tomorrow is a day off so I will ice my shins like I should be and really work for a GREAT 3 miles on Wednesday.
