I would be very careful. Make sure to RICE (Rest. Ice. Compress. Elevate). If you make it any worse you could be out for months. If I were you I’d totally stop running for at least 5 days. I’d try to find a pool and do some water running, treading and I’d stick to the bike. I’ve been in the same spot as you(actually I’m injured right now as well) and when you start to get injured it doesn’t really get better till you RICE it up! Good Luck!

Word. Since threeball also sent the RICE advice, I’ll definitely take it to heart. I don’t know about not running for five days, but I won’t resume regular running until the shin pain is gone.

I’ll chalk this up to pushing myself a little too far, too soon in new shoes. Brooks, I love you and I forgive you. Let’s get through this together!
