Hello everyone, 
Last year I started walking 8km/5m a day in order to get healthier and lose weight. A month or two ago, I started incorporating jogging in between walking. I can't jog a whole five miles. (Seriously, that's just crazy talk!)
It seems I've developed shin splints in my left leg. I looked it up on the internet and haven't been to the doctor. (Doctor in Germany = :afr)
Does anyone know what to do about them? I really like my exercise regime. Not only is it scenically beautiful (on the Rhine river), but it also makes me feel good about myself. *AND* I was losing weight. *AND* I had some really nice looking legs.
I haven't walked/jogged since last Tuesday. I've been taking ibuprofen. But they're still killing me. And I, with my body image issues, just feel like a giant, fat blob because I can't exercise.
I would like to exercise again. I would like to keep jogging more and more. Someday, I'd like to jog the whole five miles. I never thought I would be able to do something like this. I could never run as a kid. It's a huge boost for my self-confidence.
Anyway, thanks for any help.
Have a nice day,
Kelly
