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.

It has been a while and hopefully I do it right this time. I've been doing exercises and going to physical therapy and it has definitely helped. The Therapist gave me a nice easy running schedule to follow and it will take some time to get back 100% but it will be worth the wait. I don't want anymore setbacks with my shins.

Have you tried using KT Tape yet? I wonder if that would help. I see a lot of stuff about it, but I'm not sure how well it really works. Emily is using it as we speak. I'll ask her when she gets home if it is helping with her runners knee.

Hey Man! I haven't heard of KT tape. How does it work? Can you use it for shin Splints?
