So I have been running and I have had this tender shin. It has not been to a shin splint but it has been tender. My hubby pulled his back the other night and I found this pain relieving liniment for him. 

So I thought I would try it last night on my shin and calf. It is a 96.5% natural product. I forget that I am allergic to most natural products. Anyway my shin and calf is still burning from this product. Even after a shower today. So it is made with camphor, capsicum and spruce oil. I have narrowed it down to the spruce oil. I am allergic to the spruce tree. That is horrible to be allergic to so many natural products that you are not able to use them. 

We are doing good with the training diets and running. I am running with my sister again which always helps me stay on task and keep me going. It is fun to run and talk with someone else. I love it.
