I am posting this as information as well and informing the coaches.

After seeing a sports doctor 2.5 weeks ago for shin splints I was told
to see a physical therapist and to get arch supports. I did both. At PT
I was also instructed to tape up my arch (for more support) because I
had flat feet and also over-protonated and I also started different
therapies. I quickly felt better because I corrected what was causing
my shin splints and was doing therapies. So I started running again,
holding back a little and then this past week between running the "Run
for the Roses" 5k and doing the full track workout last night, I caused
THREE stress fractures in my right shin.

Now, I was taking it easy at both events but not careful enough
(apparently) and now have been put on "JOG ONLY" for the next 4-6 weeks.

The main point of this posting is to say that everyone is different,
and no two people are going to get hurt the same or heal the same. If
you are hurting in anyway, please go to a sports doctors. Take outside
advice very carefully. Just because one thing works for one person,
DOES NOT mean it will work for another, everyone is different.

I hope that no one gets offended by this posting, I am merely trying to
protect my fellow runners.

Take care and see you on Saturday.
