I want to run a marathon.
(This girl is a constant motivation for me!)
I love running. I love running more than any other physical activity because I get so bored with the others. With running, I don't have time to get bored. I've got the music blasting in my ears and the constant pain in my legs. Oh yes, there's a problem. I am constantly "running through the pain" but the problem is my legs give out waaaay before my head does. I thought it may be shin splints, but apparently after I saw a doctor I was told it's the muscle behind/beside the "shin." I've never had a problem with them before (I used to run Cross Country) and have only had a problem with them in the past couple of months.
Today, I had to stop after 2.80 miles. I couldn't even make it 3 miles. Once I got to the car I couldn't hold the tears back. It's frustrating.
Guess it's time to go see a specialist because I'm tired of running through the pain.

Hope you get the issue with your legs resolved. That stinks.
have someone check your feet and the way you run - a doctor can do this or you can go to a running store. I had bad leg pain my first marathon then i got my feet checked and realized i was wearing the wrong type of sneakers and when i get bad leg pain now, i know it's time to get new sneakers :)
Good luck!
(ps got the pictures the other day and I LOOOVVEEE them! They are absolutely incredible, i can't wait to start posting the wedding recaps :D :D )
I would def. have your shoes checked out. Good luck!
i'm not a runner at all but i do wish i was! i think it would be great therapy!
you should really get your legs checked out or try a different shoe!!
good luck!
Oh no. I'm not a runner anymore, though used to (don't know why I stopped) and I loved the feeling. Maybe try a different shoe?! Or different route, that may change the whole running thing...who knows. Good luck though!!!!
I hear ya, I'm the same way with running! But you can do this!! Good luck!
Hope you get it checked out and can be healthy and running again soon :)
