Injured At Kilometer 100

Last Saturday marks my 100th kilometer. This achievement would have fueled me up to run but I had to take a week off from running because I also encountered shin splints on that very same day.

I was running at 150 steps per minute in an increased stride. As it appears, my legs were not ready for shock. Initially affected was my right leg but then the following day, my left leg also started hurting. Both are better now but I’m still not running just to play it safe. In lieu of this; I engaged myself in floor, bathroom, and rug scrubbing activities.

I am also beginning to believe that my pair of cross-trainers is not doing a very good job. I am planning of taking a gait analysis this Saturday and buy myself a real running shoe. I just hope that there is a good pair available for less than 4000 pesos.
