3/17/10 Track Practice

On wednesday, my shin didnt feel up to the task of running, but I went anyways. Coach had us run an 800 meter interval, and then a 1 mile cooldown. I was not able to run at my full potential because of the pain in my leg, but I still completed everything. After practice I iced my shin and took ibuprofen for the swelling. I read in an article that ibuprofen is a great anti-inflammatory to use for shin splints.
