No Pain, No . . . . Yes! Pain!!

When I started back on my treadmill I couldn't go far without getting a pain in one of my leg muscles. I decided it was my shoes. (My ancient, ugly, scuffed shoes!) So I bought new shoes. (Quite lovely ones at that I might add!) They helped, quite a bit actually, but still had some amount of pain. I laid off a few days, thinking the rest would help. Nope. Still hurt.

I'm back on the treadmill now, but I'm taking it easier. Not as far, and not as fast. And I put sports cream on my leg muscle afterward so it doesn't stay sore. I figure it's better to do that than it is to go further, faster, but not be able to go but 2 or 3 times a week.

It's tough getting old.

Gotta Get Some New Dawgs!

I've been having problems for the past week and a half with my right leg as I'm doing my treadmill. I thought it was because I wasn't stretching enough or right, but now I've decided I'm getting shin splints because of my shoes! Mine are a couple years old and getting fairly worn, so I guess it's time to buy new ones. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get out to shop until Saturday because every evening this week is taken up with something or other. So I'll just have to do the best I can until then!
