Really paying for my shins!

ONCE again I was suffering with my shins earlier this week and had another run spoilt by fatigue in the muscles on the outside of my lower legs.
My physio assured me that it is simply due to me overworking the muscle and that it's not a serious problem, but after the relief I got from a bit of acupuncture last week I think I'll have another bash at the pins this weekend to help the area relax.
It really hit me on Monday night as, despite completing a circuits session in the morning, I'd had Sunday off after my big Saturday run.
All last week, when I was running every night, they didn't bother me at all. I guess that's down to not stretching properly on my rest day and maybe not spending ten minutes before my run on Monday to warm them up.
I just hope that they don't flare up again on March 2 because the pain was frustrating and I was forced to stop-start my way through just three miles before returning home not even out of breath.
