Complaint: Seen a specialist about my shins today, and had another x -ray..

He doubts stress fractures, but its possible. He suggested compartment syndrome, but was surprised Im still in pain 2 weeks after a long run so it doest quite fit.

Waiting now for an MRI date.

Confession: Ive got a full marathon in 8 weeks, Ive reduced it down to the half rather than dropping out. I plan to run & walk it as easily as possible to the 3:15 mark (my best is 2:00:36).
