I want & need to hop back on my elliptical, but for this week, I'm focusing on getting to bed at a decent hour. If I can tackle that, then I should be able to wake up early enough to exercise before my little terrors wake up...I mean, my little sweethearts.
I do plan to put my running shoes on in St. George this week, but I'll probably just walk. An early morning walk in not-so-cold weather sounds great, especially with my family!

Keri,
I've feel your pain with your shin splints. I used to get them so bad. Here are things I have found that work: keep them wrapped all the time, even at night, and even though it hurts, keep running on them--so long as they're wrapped. After a few weeks the pain will go away and your shins will be stronger. I rarely get shin splints any more.
Land on your heel when you run, not your toes--for some reason that helps cushion the impact on the shins. Also, make sure you wear GOOD shoes. It's worth the investment to buy a pair that will cushion your feet and legs, back and joints.
I don't know if any of that helps, but it really worked for me. Good luck! We should do a run together some time!
Question: Did you guys follow any kind of training regimin? Everything I have been finding is either lacking major detail for the running idiot OR extremely hardcore. Do you have a good resource to go to?
