Setting Intentions
March 2023 Slice of Life challenge
Shin splints. Ouch. What made me think I was immune to the aches and pains that come with starting a “new” exercise routine. I mean come on. I was counting on the 7 marathons under my belt and a little muscle memory to carry me through. Nope. So strengthening exercises, stretching and targeted red light therapy are now being added to my routine. And yes I still love running. There’s no better mental and physical feat out there.

I used to love running as well but so hard on the body! I love the feeling after running, there is nothing quite like it!

Stacy's comment above reminded me that, when I was in college in the 80s, runners would come in wearing life vests and run. I don't think it would keep you from the muscle ache you feel today, but I think it was easier on joints. And it offered a different kind of resistance. Who knew your post would bring back that old memory!

Shin splints are the WORST! And I hate how injuries are often attributed to being out of shape- thats 100% not true! Hopefully you can get back out there quickly!

It is the kind of pain that hurts so good! Running weather is creeping upon us!
