    See what sucks is that I carry most of my weight in my lower half, so I've really been wanting to focus on losing fat and tightening that all up. You know?

    Ok finally got to read some more of your responses. I know how I got the shin splints because I was stupid one night and didn't stretch enough AND I went to a different area which had a bit of a hill which I haven't run hills in a long time. Grrr. lol

    The shoes I've been wearing are not very old. I actually had the guy help me find the right one. I only wear them when I am going for a walk/jog/run.
    And for the zumba last night, I wore a different shoe...I used to do Zumba all the time, and I bought specific shoes just for the zumba. They're new also. :)

    I have been resting, massaging and stretching a lot and taking the anti-inflammatories. I haven't really been icing. I'm just frustrated that they're not better yet.

    I would try the icing.

    When injured from running, they recommend:

    RICE

    Rest
    Ice
    Compression
    Elevation

    Most of which have been recommended here. :)
