Shinning out

Bit of a risky "all or nothing" test on the shin splints, but it surprisingly worked.

What killed today was the headwind, which was with me nearly every step of the way. And as an added free bonus, for several steps, there was also rain driving straight into my face! I was running back from Harlow again, and the boat-dwellers thought I was certifiable. Still, if it rains on April 13th, I can't exactly shelter under a canal bridge, can I?!?

By 18 I was pretty much all-out, with a bit of pain creeping in from the shin splints. Then I went over on my ankle, so I stopped when I got to the North Circular in Edmonton and got the bus home.
