Lumpy muscle tissue on inner shin... thoughts?

Hi, this is a Wierd question, about 2 months ago I kinda hurt my left shin while running too hard, nothing big just slight pain for a few days. 

The other day I was putting on lotion and noticed this odd “lump” on my inner left shin. It wasn’t a lump really, it felt like a rubber band wrapped around my leg, it’s invisible to the eye but you can feel it, it’s not hard but not too soft, like muscle tissue being clumped together. It doesn’t hurt either. 

I also noticed a similar feeling in my right shin in a different area

I am aware that shins tend to feel pretty lumpy since there isn’t much to it than bone. Anyone know what this is and should I be concerned at all? Thanks. I don’t know if my running had to do anything with it...
