And all of it was because my shins were hurting. When I try to run in a way that takes some of the impact off my shins, my posture and natural running position fall by the wayside.
Action 205 - Rest. There was nothing else I could do. Running wasn't just uncomfortable, it was painful. And I could have pressed on, but there was nothing to gain but a more severe injury. I have sixty more days of training before the marathon, and I need to make sure I protect my health first and foremost.
So today I rested. It doesn't mean I quit. And tomorrow, I'll be back out there.
