Yeah, shin splints are awful. Usually what I do is I make sure to stretch my calfs and shins really well (both before and after running), and either use ice or a heating pad/hot water to help the pain. You might also try using some pain medicine like Advil or Tylenol to decrease inflammation.
Also, to prevent shin splints from happening again in the future, you might look into getting shoe inserts (or even new shoes entirely) that accommodate your arches and absorb some of the impact. A couple of years ago, I was having the problem where my arches were too flat and I had been relying too much on the insides of my calfs (which, ow) and shoe inserts helped correct my balance and overall help keep the pain from coming back.
Anyway, I hope this helps. :)
Hello hello my wonderful fellow fives, I was wondering if anybody has any tips or advice on how to deal with shin splints (? I think ? I’m sort of dying of pain right now haha)
Any advice would be helpful ! So thank you in advance !
"It's Not Over Until the Mockingjay Sings."
"I'm a couple of days into the plan, making good progress, when something unexpected happens. I begin to sing. At the window, in the shower, in my sleep. Hour after hour of ballads, love songs, mountain airs. All the songs my father taught me before he died. [...] My voice, at first rough and breaking on the high notes, warms up into something splendid. A voice that would make the mockingjays fall silent and then tumble over themselves to join in." - Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay (pg. 376)

Hey it’s ace week and you’re local ace has something to say! I’ve been out as ace for 3 years now and it’s still a big part of my identity that I’m proud of so here’s a lil something for those who need it!
new post! respect indigenous people you morons.
Since that “reblog if/like if not” post is extremely statistically unsound, it’s better to have two separate posts for inclusionists/exclusionists.
Reblog this other post if you think aces/aros are not LGBTQ+
still not over how much I love this
I do apologise about these AUs but the floodgates opened and now I can't stop :)
Anyway - @swamp-y reminded me of Detroit: Becoming Human and I started rewatching the Super Best Friends Play playthrough and I had IDEAS.
I've tried to put these in order of how they'd occur ?? Idk. The last one is only because I wanted to draw a blush-y Five with their blue blood.
I was going to keep all but the first as really sketchy doodles but then no eyebrow Five was TERRIFYING so that had to change 😂
DTIYS entry I did for @ graysonesque ‘s piece over on Insta. Thought I’d post it here too for good measure but go check them out! Their art is amazing!
I’m just bracing myself for the inevitable major Doctor Who announcement.
