a little better today

My left shin is getting better. I've been following my coaches advice and I'm not running. I walked today; however I had an early appointment and was only able to get 30 minutes in, but I did 2.15 miles in 30 minutes. I have a decent walk pace, it's just natural. I have been icing it as often as I can. It didn't hurt to walk down the stairs today, but I'm not sure I'm ready to run yet. I will be walking tomorrow. I think our time is 45 minutes, but I might do more since I'm walking and not running. If time permits I would like to get at least 4 miles in tomorrow.

I saw a neurologists today. When I had my MRI done they said I should see him since I wasn't in any pain, but did have the tingling numbing sensation in my right toes, foot, ankle, and calve. But since I've been taking Ibuprofen every 4-6 hours, it's almost gone. The doc said it should continue to get better and if for some reason it got worse or I started having pain then there is a surgery they can do to take care of the swollen tissue. I just think it is going to take time for the nerve to heal.

till next time......Rally On!
