Shin Splint Update and Today's WOD

I went to PT yesterday afternoon and two separate therapists now feel like my shins are on track.  I'm supposed to run a few miles and see how they hold up.  I was going to do that at the gym this morning but the treadmill is so boring that I really cannot make myself run that far.  I did 1/2 mile.  That's all I can take on a treadmill.  Plus, I'm going dancing tonight so if my shins hurt, I won't know if it's from running or dancing in heels.  I'll do the run over the weekend on a trail somewhere where running is more exciting and I can go much further without getting bored.

Today's WOD was funny:

3 rounds for time (which I did in approximately 15 mintues):

50 pound dumbbell Waiter walk, 100 meters, Right arm (I did 30 for the first round on the right arm only and then switched to 25 pounds for the rest of the workout.)

30 GHD sit-ups (I did regular situps since there's no GHD at Bally's.)

50 pound dumbbell Waiter walk, 100 meters, Left arm

30 back extensions


Keeping that dumbell up over your head is hard as hell!  My shoulders will definitely be sore tomorrow but this was great practice for the "Hold you Wood" obstacle in the Tough Mudder.
