It's amazing where this hobby can take you!<br /><br />I also suffered shin splints at first. It's fairly normal, just rest, ice and don't push too hard. I also found that running on the side of the road made things worse on my left leg since the road slopes down toward the sides. Alternating running on opposite sides of the road helped me get through the initial pain.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01806143351580304179noreply@blogger.com
