Up and down

So this week is all about some cutback and trying to get the shin to feel a bit better. I think this is in a slightly different part of the same muscle - so I'm guessing that it is a compensatory soreness because the strength wasn't back enough in the injured part for the miles I was doing. Hopefully it will be 100% soon.

Right now it loosens up for a while when I start, then oscillates while running. I've been cutting the runs off before it starts to hurt and I have been stretching a lot (although the shin ones are pretty hard to get right) and attacking my lower legs with the stick.

Tonight I'm trying some massage therapy, so we will see how that helps and what kind of feedback I get.
