My legs feel sick

| I'm doing everything right-- stretching after runs, sticking to the 10% rule, running on the treadmill when I can, taking calcium-- and I STILL feel like I'm breaking my goddamn bones when I run. I did 10 miles yesterday, which was a painful reminder of the fact that a marathon is a little less than THREE TIMES that. I have a while before October, but I honestly am starting to wonder if this is even good for me. I can see a half marathon because 13 miles doesn't really damage you the way 26.2 does. In any case, I've had four stress fractures before and I can't see how I'll avoid them now. I have bruised bumps on the inside of my shins, and I lie awake at night FEELING MY BONES ACHE. This is not a good feeling; let me assure you. I like having a goal and sticking to it, and it takes a real lot for me to abandon my goals. So let's just say I'm sticking to it, but I'm almost positive that I'm doing permanent damage to myself right now. Great. |
