Have any of you ever had shin splints? What do they feel like?
I've been feeling a lot of pain in my shins for the last year or so, and only today have I realized it might not be normal. I always try to get enough rest in between training sessions, but it isn't always possible. Besides, I won't stop living just for a couple stress fractures. All the boxing/running/biking has not helped, I'm sure, but surely I am healthy and young enough to have fun without getting all the pain that I get. Is it normal, or am I overreacting?
And I will NOT get a massage. I have a big problem with massages.

PS: I desperately want to go canoeing on lake Ontario or Huron and need a paddling partner.

Stick to the biking, that shouldn't affect shin splints. When you do want to run, tape up your ankles/lower leg for support and stick to softer surfaces (not bitumen/concrete paths, etc).
