    I'm in the same situation as you! I hate running and I have shin splits. One of my new year's resolutions was to complete a 5K. I wanted something that was attainable and that I can aim for, to keep me on track for my weight loss journey. I just found one in May and started training (similar to the C25K program) this week. I'm trying to stay motivated and stay with the program. Luckily one of my dogs loves to run, so he's my training buddy :) I do find that I'm very heavy on my feet when I run. Right now, I'm trying to focus on my form. Since I started doing that, I haven't had any shin split pains or feet pain. Good luck on this journey :)
