Serious Advice Needed!

Has anyone ever had to ease back into running after a huge layoff? My hip is doing fabulous, but my lower legs are on fire. Seriously, I didn't go through this stupid hip surgery to wind up with shin splints. I have been running for 4 weeks now and am now up to 30 minutes of running with walk breaks. I am running on wood chips, stick rolling, stretching, and even got some compression socks. Any other ideas on how to prevent shin splints and ward off the calf/feet pain?  

PM: 3 x 10 minutes of running plus a little extra to get me to 3.5 miles and an even 10 for the week!!! Pace was 10:10, 9:17, 9:07, 9:18. Not bad for 15 weeks post-up but my poor calves ughhhhh!

I have... I was out a year ago for 8 weeks. Not HUGE but long enough. I hurt everywhere for several months before my legs got used to the pounding again. What would you like to know? :)

You hurt everywhere for months? Yikes!?! I guess I just wanted to know that this is normal :) I am just really afraid of overdoing anything. How slowly did you have to ease back in?

I don't think I slowly eased back in and that was part of my problem! Yikes. I should go back into my blog and double check for you...

It was great to finally meet you today. Sorry if I seemed scatter-brained, I wanted to trade my children for pigmy goats today.
