Hit the TM today cause in the air looked disgusting!! After about 1.5, I couldn't take the pain in my shin, so walked at a fast pace for the remainder of my "run".  Boo shin splints! I am trying to stay positive and I continue to do strengthening exercises so hopefully sooner than later it will be healed!

Weird! Hopefully it's nothing. If your insurance allows, maybe find a good running PT. It might be worth a good visit. When I had ITB issues I went to one who I know is a runner and he studied my gait, gave me some tips that solved a different problem I was having. I don't know how they would help shin splints, but maybe it isn't that? Dunno - but would be nice to have a professional opinion.

That might be a good idea, I will check into it. I had an xray 2 weeks ago, and they didn't see anything, and I dont want to pay big bucks for an mri (insurance doesn't cover ) thanks for the info.

Be careful, Peg. I'd hate to see you run yourself into a stress fracture. How old are your shoes? If they have a lot of mileage on them, they might not be cushioning you enough.
