The most painful and often ongoing injury one can get- and usually developed from running too much.
XC kids- they understand.
Ice and resting and lots of food and hours watching mindless television and popping
Advil is required for their healing, and sometimes that doesn't even work. But only
cross country runners can truly understand and handle the pain of shin splints.
Cross country girl- Pete, I can't wait to see you at the
XC championships!
Cross country guy- I don't know if I'm gonna make it, Ashley.. I have some real bad shin splints!
Cross country girl- suck it up, and run like a real man. And take some
Advil for your shin splints too.
