I've been meaning to suggest you check your shoes. Most of my cardio issues come from the wrong shoes. Shin splints can be prevented if you are wearing the right shoes (yes, I am a runner masquerading as a bodybuilder, lol). Check out www.roadrunnersports.com if you don't know what type of shoe you need. This is mainly for treadmill work, I have different issues when it comes to elliptical/stairclimber, then its how you tie your shoes that makes the difference, lol... best of Luck! |

I did go buy new shoes and hopefully they will help. I have been having shin splints for as long as I can remember. New shoes or not (only time I get them is on the treadmill or when I walk). I have ankle issues and if I tape them up nice and tight it helps, but who has time for that  These new shoes better help some of the pain...they cost me enough |

I'm sure you have thought of this before-- but you may think about giving swimming a try for a couple weeks? In my "old age" I have learned to stop fighting against my body when it is telling me something, and find a way to step away from whatever is hurting me and find something else for a while. I am def not a great swimmer, but it is awesome cardio-- and impact free, which sounds like what your aching legs and ankles are crying out for! |

Happy Hump day No lifting today. 45 min of fasted cardio, posing and abs this am (didn't get them in yesterday). Went back to the gym for my hill training. Had to stop about 5 min into it b/c the shin splints were so intense. So I did 35 min on the stepmill, alternating the speed. Energy was OK today. I am looking forward to my carbs tomorrow!! Noticing more definition. Looking flat though. Tomorrow is high carb day, so hoping to fill back out w/ o the bloat.

The only time I get shin splints is on the darn treadmill. No swimming now until after my comp! I used to swim a while back and it is a great wo! |

Busy day. Gonna get a quick post in and dont know if I will be able to do much visiting.
Today was an interesting day. Had a bit of a scare. Don't know what is causing it, but after I ate my 3rd meal I got the "gonna pass out feeling". Ears filled up, black spots and very dizzy. Been feeling off since. I had whole wheat pasta w/ this meal. Wondering if I had some kind of reaction. Just finished my rice and still feel off.
Anyway...made it through the day. Just got home. Have lots to do yet but am hoping for an early bedtime!

Feeling better today. Still a bit foggy, but my energy is back and the dizziness and headache are gone. I really think it was the carbs. I haven't had pasta in AGES. I tend to be hypersensitive to things so hoping that is what is was. (or a quick bug)
Checked a few things today: BP good, Glucose good, Hemo a little low, but nothing that should cause my sx yesterday. I will continue to see how I feel before pursuing other things.
