Frustrating February & Shin Splint City
An episode of shin splints a while back caused me to take 4 days off running. I then managed two short runs in two days before they returned. So I took a whole seven days off, went for a short run last night, and again they're back.

It's tempting just to try and run through the bloody things, but I've tried that before and it's a big mistake. All the text books say three days is enough to recover from shin splints. Bah!

It's going to have to be cross-training only for a while it seems.

On a lighter note, here's a fabulous photo of Lleyton Hewitt playing tennis at a charity match with his fiancee, clearly not a tennis player. I just love the stark contrast in style and technique between the two - a fantastic photo!
