    Did you just start running? I have been running for a few years and had to start slowly, too. You can avoid shin splints by stretching after your run and by using the mid-foot strike. Don't run on the balls of your feet. I hope that helps, nice work this month!!

    Thanks for the info. I started jogging as a means to increase my HR, as the walking was not elevating it as it once had. I had begun to read up on shin splints and I had never analyzed my run. I discovered indeed I was jogging on my toes. I felt as if I was lifting up my foot further, but struck it down towards the mid foot/heel and it felt as if I was rolling my foot forward. Stretching, ice and biofreeze afterwards, and I am happy to report only feeling a mild pull the next day. Nothing like before. I have worked myself up to jogging 1/3 (2 laps walking and one jogging) for 2 miles, and walking a 3rd mile. I am going to work on the track for awhile and move myself to outdoors once it gets a bit warmer.

    Great job everyone!

    This week to date I cycled another 16 miles and competed 7.25 miles--mostly walking...

    updated totals
    Swim 2.55 miles
    cycle 192 miles (spinning indoors and outside)
    walk/jog 26.5 miles

    I joined late, but I had been working on these totals independently. My goals were iron man goals and YAY! I made it.
    I am traveling today, so it is going to be a rest day for my final day of November. I hope we keep this challenge up next month. It has been fun!
