Calling all runners...

[sarita_m]

I know a few people on my flist run, or used to run. So: question. A few weeks ago I decided to start jogging on the treadmill - doing the jog for a few minutes, walk for a few minutes thing. In the past I have loathed running, but I actually am into it this time. It's the first time in a long time I feel like I am really getting a work out

I am super unhelpful here--I've never had shin splints, and I hear they hurt like crazy, but I don't know anything about preventing them.

However! I just went to the grown-up running store and got new shoes--hand-picked for me by someone who watched me walk and run, to see what my feet were doing--and they are pretty amazing. My knees don't hurt! So I recommend finding a good running store when you can afford it.
