So still suffering from the shin splints despite exercises, compression bandages and ice I thought I'd try and maintain my motivation with some swimming.
Sunday afternoon:
After a nice swim on the Sunday I was up for some early morning swims before work so got straight back in the pool on Monday morning - mistake!! Shoulders and legs were still hanging from what I thought was a leisurely swim on the Sunday.
Still keen, or so I thought, it took 2 days to return to the pool due to lack of AM motivation (something I have been plagued with for a long time!). Thursdays effort was good completing another 500m set. Shoulders, legs an old rugby injuries made me start to wonder if some dry land exercises wouldn't go a miss so back to the weights bench and stretch exercises for me!
