Squeaky shins

I'm going nowhere with my running. It's pretty logical, given that I'm not running. My shin is still bothering me, so I have decided to take the rest of the week off, doing swimming and circuit training at home, while my body decides what the hell it is to do..

It's getting weirder, by the way - yesterday, I noticed that when I lift my right foot my shin makes a squeaky noise!! I thought I was turning into an alien, but then I looked it up and discovered that apparently it is called 'crepitum', and it may occur in cases where the tendons are inflamed...

Someone braver than me recorded the same phenomenon in his own shin, and put it on youtube:




Does this still count as a "shiny" start to my marathon plan?
