i'm pretty sure i have a shin splint. in my left leg. it goes from my ankle about halfway up to my knee. i've never had one before, i mean my shins have been a bit sore at times, but never anything like this. it's just this dull, steady ache in my bone. and it's kind of sensitive to the touch as well. i have no idea how i could have done it. well, i guess i have one possibility, which is that i ran up a big hill covered in pine straw while wearing flip-flops. but i do that kind of stuff a lot, so i can't believe i could have hurt myself from just that. oh well. i tried to ice it last night, but it only made the pain worse.
it's actually not so bad this morning, i'm hoping that means it's on the mend. b/c i most definitely need to be walking a lot on my MOTHERFUCKING TRIP TO EUROPE oh yes.
