Thanks for the replys! As for shoes, I have a very good (and very expensive) pair of shoes from The New Balance Store here in Atlanta. I cut back my running from daily (i was/still am addicted to the runners high) to every other day.

They funny thing is....if you told be two years ago that I would be going through running withdraws b/c of sore shins...I would have laughed so hard while eating fat free ice cream!
