Can I run if I have shin splints? It's minor. Found pair shoes, not fantastic but Adidas and new, so better than what I had. Went for Thai foot massage and she did shins also....did that instead of pizza!

Yes I would say so, just make sure you keep regular, nay rather obsessive :-D stretching rubbing and strengthening exercises.

Just keep an eye on it its all normal its just your body finding its weak spots so needs a bit of work and TLC.
