DAY NINE

Well, I finally have some battle scars to prove I'm an athlete darnitt....that's right...an athlete. (ok i'm chuckling). I didn't even know what "shin splints" were and I was told today by a REAL athlete that I had them. Not only that, but possibly a strained right calf muscle....WOOO HOOO!!! I was sent home to a hot bath and icy hot patches (not the cream for goodness sakes) on my calf. So no running today. I started and finished 1/2 mile and just couldn't continue however I noticed I did have the stamina to finish. My hurtin just prevented it.....So I guess that is a step in the right direction.
