Short-Term Running Goals:

I've been a very active runner since High School ( I usually run 5-6 days a week) but I have yet to run a Marathon or any other competitive race since then. I want to get back into competitive running and hopefully have similar results like in High School. Although, last January 09 I got shin splints really bad and it took a good 6 months of rest and rehab to finally get back in the groove. I would like to run a sub 8 minute mile on my first Marathon but maybe I should just worry about finishing it first?   

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

Personal:

I'm 42 years old and I'm married! I enjoy the outdoors (Hunting, Camping, Backpacking)

I found out today that I got into the St. George Marathon! I'm pretty stoked but I'm worried about my Shin Splints coming back. I had a bone scan done last week. My doctor wanted to make sure I don't have any Stess Fractures. Luckily it came back negative. I've been taking it easy lately trying to get over it completely. I'm not sure what's going to happen now that I have to start training hard. I have about 20 weeks until the race. Does anybody have a good Marathon Training Schedule? Since I've been having problems with my legs I probably should follow an easier schedule.

Well.....today was a bad day overall. I ran 4 miles and my shins were killing me. I haven't felt this way since January. I had to walk towards the end, my legs were throbbing.  I also went to a sports medicine  doctor today and he looked at the bone scan and didn't find a stress fracture but he said my shins are inflamed and recommended that I take at least 3 months off for my legs to heal. Unfortunately, It's a no go for the St. George Marathon.
