Ugh.....I may have crashed. I ran my second race of the week today, with disasterous results. The race itself was a 10k in Central Park. Turned out to be a beautiful morning, and about 6,000 other people thought so too and decided to race. Anyway I was senstive to the fact that my lower shin was hurting a bit yesterday on my BMW run so I wrapped it for the race, and really thought everything would be ok. Boy was I wrong. I had immediate pain of the starting line, but not anything that would stop me. It quickly worsened and by the time I was about 2 miles in it was hurting so bad I had to slow down and was limping. I almost turned back, and looking back at it now I definitely should have. But I had a member of the Running Men Fan Club waiting for me at the finish and I have never quit a race so I trudged on. The leg mercifully got a little better by the end, but no question I have an injury. Now I just need to figure out what.....I'm fearful that it is a stress fracture, which would be disasterous. What a difference a day makes. Can you figure out who is in the fan club?
