On this day Mum came to get me from my housesitting house at 6am and we went to the beach for a walk. I set my alarm for 5.30 and couldn't believe that it was actually already light at that time! We parked at North Cott and walked at good strong pace for 45 minutes. We tried to take it up to a run but after 5 minutes we were both so sore that Mum said hellll no. So a walk it was! But after about 15 minutes my deadly shins started hurting. I completely forgot that I am not meant to go for walks because my heavy heel strike when I was is what triggers my shin splints. Farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk. I got through the whole walk but had to stop a couple of times to stretch because it was so painful. They hurt absolutely all day which is annoying because I had to walk too and from train stations to get anywhere. Very very very frustrating. I was so sore that I didn't work out again that day. VERY FRUSTRATING. I know I need to just get creative and do work outs that don't involve putting any impact on shins. Need to try this tomorrow.
After the walk me and Mum did:
1 minute bridge
30 pushups
30 tricep dips
Food intake:
Omega 3 Plus cereal with yoghurt and skim milk
2 turkey rice paper rolls
2 apples
low fat apple and cinnamon muffin
1 coke zero
1 french vanilla forme yoghurt
3 pieces of pizza
3 pieces of garlic bread
I think one of my downfalls with food is that I often think, well it's only one thing that isn't healthy, I usually eat well so one thing is fine, it's all in moderation. But then that one thing is every day so that all adds up and equals not good for me. I do think that I need to be a lot stricter with myself and not take the easy way out.
Interesting to see how long these bloody shin splints last. Such bad timing damn it.
