Browsing though live journal, I discovered that my last entry (in which I didn't have to cut and paste something in) was January 22nd.

That is a bit of time that has passed. Instead of going back and talking about what has happened, cause that would be boring, I'll just ramble about "current events."

A Jeff entry? Must be a mirage. Let's start out with the basics: it's spelled "kryptonite."

As far as shin splints: I have fewer problems with them myself when I don't stretch, and when I warm up for a good 15 minutes with a walk. (Not that I do a particularly large amount of running.) Stretching really seems to exacerbate them for me, but walking first helps. As always, though, your mileage may vary.

What is this I see.... Jeffey writing in his journal? Has hell frozen over? :)
Shin splints. Ice them after you run,that helped me some. Or run on softer surfaces, like grass or dirt (concrete hurts). If you run on a treadmill, run at a .5 or 1 incline. But unfortunatly, I have never had the pain go away, just learned to live with it. Also make sure you have good shoes (you will need new ones about every 6 months). Finding the right shoe made all the difference to me. Go to a specialty store. I recommend seeing Dave at Marathon Sports off of 50th and France. He was my coach and a fantastic help. But anyone at a running store will be able to put you in shoes that are good. Marathon Sports, The Running Room, Run and Fun, etc.
