Glad the tendons are better! Is the shin improving...or does it feel the same? I suspect running on concrete may be part of the problem...have you been running on concrete all along? Dirt, grass, even asphalt is better than concrete sidewalks. I have found that strengthening the muscles in my legs has helped immensely with aches and pains--particularly the ones below the knee which is where I have had most of my problems. One-legged squats with the other leg on a bench, lunges, calf raises on stairs(no weights needed)--I do several circuits of these and several others at least twice a week and I will vouch for improvement of aches and pains.

The shin is not really pain, is just like a little bit sore. Just thinking that I should take care of it before it becomes a problem.

Tendons are improving, but still quite a bit more of road to travel before they are fine.

Yes, concrete running, not the best, but don't have much of an option now.

I've been doing the calf raises on stairs (I think this has been the key to getting better of my tendon), and several other stretchings/strenghting. Maybe I should try the squats and lunges too.

And I do these every day, before and after the runs...

Thanks for the tips.

Try toe taps for your shins.

Stand with one leg in front of the other. Lean forward with your hands on your forward knee and tap the toes of your forward foot for 30-60 secs.

Interesting, should I sing something too?

Just kidding, I'll try it! =)

I've never tried singing, but now I'm going to start.
