My shins are really hurting today. I shouldn’t have done the treadmill for HIIT. I REALLY need to cross train and get my shins to heal completely but I just don’t have the patience. The treadmill calls to me and I can’t say no. But I guess I’ll have to because it really HURTS today. Even my knee is acting up again. I just don’t know how to achieve a true 10 on the bike or elliptical and time is running out. I only have – holy crap – 5 1/2 weeks left in my challenge. Sigh.
