4/2 - After the swelling went down the shin splint came on hard. At one point I even thought it may be a stress fracture, but have all but ruled that out. No TC pain during Umstead, but this is a bitch. Still a 4 in severity. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be back out running again

4/3 - Felt Good Last night and today. Decided to test it out and go for an hour run. Hurt bad after 1 mile, ran/walked for 60 minutes. Treated with ice and tens. Hurts tonight, but not as bad as when I was running. No running tomorrow, test it out on Monday if I have no pain tomorrow/Monday

4/4 - Easter Iced last night, still hurts this morning, but not as sharp as yesterday. Rest today and test it tomorrow if it feels 100% in the morning.

4/5 - Not feeling very good today, still has pain when I walk. No running again today, Keep icing and advil and tens…..

4/6 - Starting to feel a little better, last nights workout hurt, but not unbearable and did not effect performance much

Treatment:
Advil a few times a day
Ice
Tens
