Shin Splints

Ouch! I have shin splints. I've been working out pretty hard lately, but that's not it. I wear heels all the time, but that's not it either.

Did anyone else have absolutely gorgeous weather this weekend? We did. On Sunday I decided to take Hayden (or Hade dog as my precious little nephew calls her) for a nice long walk. We used to walk together pretty much every day - with occasional days off for rain (no one likes the wet dog smell, right?)

This past winter, however, the weather was just not conducive to walking. Plus, I was traveling so often that we didn't really get that many chances to.

I've just recently moved to a pair of training shoes - ones that I can use lifting weights, using cardio machines and in fitness classes (which while I love the after effect, while I'm in there I'm cursing the instructor!). So my shoes are not specifically for running or walking with Hayden.

Which shoes do you think I wore to walk her on Sunday? Yep - those training shoes. Now I'm hobbling around with shin splints. Ouch!
