Shinnanigens

Hmmmmm quite an eventful jog today. Set out to do a minimum of 18laps and a max of 20 laps if nothing catastrophic happened. Wanted to be on pace for 18 laps in 25 minutes. Started out and my first lap pace was around 9kph with a lap time of 1:01 2-3 laps in i realized this pace will burn me out and if i don’t do immediate damage control 18 laps is a dream, so slowed down to a decent pace and kept it up more or less until the catastrophe finally came. My right shin started hurting like a bitch around lap 15(My best last week). And got progressively worse until a point where i was thinking of quitting(Stress fractures in the second week was playing on my mind). But i pushed through, though my lap times became abysmal , i still went on with the jog. Finally at the end of the 18th lap, stopped and started my cool down walk, only to realize i was limping because of my shin. Stress fracture and injury was going through my head, but the cool down was great in about 5 laps of walking. The pain had subsided(to a niggle, but its still very much there.). Finished off with another 6 laps of walking and that along with my beginning warm up brought me to 33 laps jog+walk for the day for a total of 5km at an average pace of 5kmph.
