W5R2 difficult conditions today

[jcflash]

We've had a lot of rain in the last couple of days, which made today's run a bit more tricky. The tracks that I run on had lots of puddles, mud and slippery bits. However, I did it and got the two, eight minute runs under my belt. On the last couple of minutes of the second run I did feel it ever so slightly in my right shin. I've seen people talking about shin splints on here before, so wondered if anyone had some advice on this? I'm going to rest up over the weekend and see how I feel on Monday, before tackling the 20 minute run to complete week 5.
