It sounds like shin splints, which is quite common and is often solved by getting fitted for appropriate running shoes. I have never suffered from them, so can't give any other advice, but I am sure someone will come along soon with more helpful advice.

I have the same issue. Just finished week 1 and shins are feeling exactly that - bruised down the bone. Hope it improves!
