Thanks for the comments. Theyve gotten a little better as time goes on, but they still are the limiting factor when i run.

Yesterday i purchased some running shoes. Right away i could tell they offer much more support and cusioning that my current shoes. I have yet to use them though, because i had a physical agility test today so i dont plan on running until tomorrow.

My dad said shin splints are all about circulation, and that i should warm them up properly. I also overheard a coach at my gym (the local highschool uses it as their fitness center, and gym classes occasionally come over), she said to walk backwards on your heels to prevent shin splints. Much like the reverse calf raises, they work the shin muscle.

Ill try out some options, and see how the shoes feel. Thanks again.
