I keep hearing the word shin splints be used a little too much. What I do know is my shins hurt like crazy! They kept me up the last 2 nights even though I was taking lots of Motrin. But after having a rough morning getting out of the house (just one of those mornings nothing went right) I forgot my Motrin so as I was looking through the cabinets at work for something I was told to just get an injection. I hate needles, even when I'm sick they have to force me to get an injection. I will say it did help.
So off to do my workout and being reminded to make sure I tell who was coaching. I have to say I'm proud of myself for not giving in to the folks that told me I shouldn't go workout. I figured at worst I would show up and be told to hold off but that wasn't happening - LOL! So tonight, I was introduced to a new trainer. Oh how I don't think he was prepared for me - LOL! I was already in a mood from everything at work. He was patient though.
I did the workout but I will say it wasn't pretty. And far as I'm concerned burpees can go jump out of a plane without a parachute!
I do have to say I did feel better to find that the trainer didn't over react to my shins hurting but did answer my questions. I didn't understand why my shins have hurt for days and I do the workout and they don't bother me. While I understand the answer about the body moving it doesn't compute in my head as far as it making sense.
Hopefully, I will get some sleep tonight.
