shin splints is kind of a catch all term that encompasses more or less any shin pain.......
so how do i know when i should stop and rest or just carry on?
see i'm so stupid i would just put up with the pain and run anyway, then probably wish i hadnt later!
however if i can run with a pain surely it cant be that bad IMHO

does this sound like what you are feeling?
I had them exactly as this description and tried to run through it. biiiiiiiig mistake. before long it was pain all the time and I couldn't walk without limping for about 6 weeks and couldn't run for 6 months. and even now years later I can't run more than about 3 or 4 times a week or they come back. sigh.
think there was an article in RW a couple of months ago about how to tell the diff between different injuries and what to do....
it's horrid though. so disheartening.
you around tomorrow morning?
see you then
tell me dont be mean :-(
