I kept the exercising to a minimum today. I spent a half hour stretching my legs/rolling – and then another half hour on an exercise bike. So far so good.
I talked to someone whose had shin-splints before. He recommended that I tape my leg and provided a YouTube video for reference. He also said that prior to taping I should shave my legs, and apply alcohol to the area – that I should expect to keep the tape on for a few days at a time. I suppose I’m OK with all of this. I’d be lying if I said that I’ve never shaved my legs before – it was kinda nice when I did. Maybe with less leg hair, it’ll help increase my speed. Aerodynamics. Science.
