Shin Splints

I guess I got shin splints.  I didn't know what it was, I just knew my leg started hurting when I started running.  So my dear more educated friends told me I had shin splints and taught me how to take care of it and prevent future problems.
Exercise the shins - you can do this by repeatedly tapping your toe until it burns and burns.  I've been doing this a lot lately.   You can also walk around on your heels until it burns.


Wrap: I'll let the picture explain itself.

So I taped my leg this morning and ran three miles pain free!  Huray!!
