Dr. Barrett first looked at my leg and asking if this hurt when pushing here and so on. Just form that I found out that it was shin splints. I have severe inflammation from the inside of my knee all the way down to the inside of my ankle (*insert facial exertion and with words of your choice*). Then he asked me to stand up......I did and the look of his face....well, you can just imagine! Dr. Barrett told me that my feet pronate inward.
This is what my feet look like when I am running and walking.
So, now I have to have physical therapy 3 - 4 times a week for 4 weeks....Ugh! But, this is going to be something I need to do. Oh , and I have to ice my leg as often I can!
I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to do CREW but amazing enough I CAN, YAY! I can't run till this heals or till my physical therapist says I can. I can do is this: swim, stationary bike, lift weights from waist up and row! That is enough to make me happy! If I wasn't able to do CREW I would be so pissed, I have put so much time into this and already paid my dues and I hate quitting in the middle of an activity!
please to who ever reads this take care of yourself!
have a wonderful day and God Bless.

Hey girl! My feet pronate inward too. I have to buy special running shoes for it (Saucony Hurricanes) that the Run On people up here fit for me. Unfortunately, now, I can't just go buy my running shoes at Academy, but have to go to RunOn or another specialty running store because of me pronating. So, there is hope!! Now, with shoes designed for people like us who pronate, I am running up to 21 miles per week. Just wanted to share.
