Yes I have 3 pairs of running shoes...I just think that I have pushed myself a bit too far over the last few days. :-( I will have a rest day tomorrow and see how I feel on Thursday ..... Just about to do some R.I.C.E on my left shin.

& No I have not been using football boots !!!

:-)

well done on your runs so far :) hope those shin splints clear soon, could be a running shoe thing ?

No I had my gait analysis done at Runnersneed and my trainers are new.....I will have a rest day tommorow and see how I feel....I remember having this problem when I was much younger and had overtrained.....I did push myself over the weekend so I have to accept that I am not a spring chicken anymore !!!!! :-D
