Shin splints, knee problems and ankle problems. :crying: it's not that big a deal, it just screws up my run. A LOT. :( *sigh* life will go on.

you could use second skin. it's like a liquid bandage but it stings a little bit when you first put it on

here's my theory on pole vaulters and our injuries. Pole Vaulters are all badasses. from 2 meters to 6 we rule. so i guess unavoidable injuries is just the price we pay for being so darn cool.

if you want to order some online there are a number of products that all do the same thing. "Second skin", "Skin sheild" etc. but just look for liquid bandages.
