Patience

I haven't been running in a while. I got an MRI on my left shin to rule out stress fracture, and stress fracture was ruled out! So, I guess whatever's wrong with my shin can be lumped into the "shin splints" category. I have already kind of decided to just take the rest of the summer off from running, and just do other fun things to try to stay in shape. If I do start back, my new and improved mantra will be "patience is a virtue". (See one-year-old cactus seedlings below)
