Sweet healing?

Running comes from its supply of pesky injuries. For a while, I suffered from repeated torn calf-muscles and that was a major impediment, requiring a long time without running. Since July 1, I've got a shin-splints, also known as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), a common injury that affects runners.

It manifests itself as a pain in the lower part of the leg between the knee and the ankle. It is apparently caused by repeated trauma to the connective muscle tissue surrounding the tibia and can only be treated by rest until it gets better. What I have discover however is that I can ride my mountain bike instead of running, which makes my healing and my recovery super fun.

Will it work? We'll see!
