Saturday Torture

On Friday night Doran and I went to dinner a little late. And of course we ate too much Mexican. (Wait, is there such a thing?) Then we slept in and got a late start on our run. He would usually go do weights but he was kind enough to run with me. We actually did a route of his (which I cut short because I couldn't go further). I really struggled the whole time. Not once did I feel "Hey this feels good". One thing he can do that I cannot... is to run the whole way without stopping for a drink. So when he was going to turn and come back home I made him run up the hill to the Golf Course. I knew there was a water fountain up there. It was worth it to me to add another hill so I could get my drink. It was over cast and we were afraid that is was going to rain before we got done. Well, I wish it would have rained to cool me off.
I am fighting an owie in my left leg now. I can't decide if it is a shin splint or a rotating owie. It keeps moving all over in my left leg below my knee down to my ankle. It will let up after about 3 miles and then it only hurts when I stop. I wore a strap on my right leg to help with Patellar Tendonitis. (So I am told that's what I have.) It has helped the last couple of runs, so I will continue. NOW....what ta do with the left leg. Are there any Dr.'s out there with a diagnosis? And an easy fix? I don't want to stop running since I just got started.
6.13 mile... And YES, I walked some. Poor Doran, he was so good to run ahead and come back for me and even walked with me a couple of times. I know....Maybe more chocolate should do the trick...
