March Total: 56.4 miles
Definitely a case of the good, the bad, and the ugly this month.
The Good: Getting back to running and getting 56.4 miles in after putting up a blistering 0.0 miles in February. No recurrence of the shin issue. Found a local PT who specializes in running and started discussing strategies for preventing recurrence and improving my form.
The Bad: While my legs have been quick to reacclimate to running and want to go back to my old paces, my heart and lungs have been much slower to regain fitness. It’s frustrating.
The Ugly: The aforementioned PT identified that I have an atypical curvature to my right tibia. That causes my foot to strike at an angle, making the calf muscles work harder to pull the foot into line for the push off and has led primarily to the shin injury. Also, none of the new shoe styles I’ve been auditioning have panned out and my best bet for the future, the Glycerin 15s have now been implicated as potentially contributing to the shin issue. That leaves me with 2 pairs of Glycerin 13s to run in and nothing to turn to after. I’m a bit worried by that situation...
