shin splints

I have been sidelined for a week with shin splints and willl do swimming and biking instead of running.  I get to ice a couple of times per day, too.  Oh joy!  They don't hurt at all when I run, but it is more of an awareness than anything.  I had them in high school and had to do an ice bath.  That sucked.  It hurt worse than the shin splints so I just ran with them.  I'm older and wiser now, so I'll do what I'm supposed to do so I can actually do my training and qualify for Boston.
