Apparently, the cure for shin splints is skiing... or maybe the position your feet and legs are in when you're skiing. Ski boots force your feet to be flexed all the time, which I think provided the amount of stretching necessary to make my legs feel better. I did start to feel the aching coming back today, since I didn't ski Sunday or yesterday, but I think if I can do a proper amount of stretching before, after, and during my run, I can avoid the pain. Hopefully my new shoes will help too...
While I've excercised, I haven't actually run since last Monday, when I really killed my legs. Now I know that if it really starts hurting, I should stop. I just need to get on with the training because I don't have forever to train for this half marathon in May. No more days off, hopefully...
