Shin splints suck dick (I'm also a former cross country runner) mainly because the only thing you can do about them is simply rest. You just gotta lay low for a while and try icing those bad boys. The one stretch I do know, and I'll do my best explaining it, is you first get on your knees, with your legs under your butt, and lean back. That stretches those muscles out. As previously mentioned, it could be your shoes. If you've been using them for a while, chances are you aren't getting good support from them. Also, you may need to just tone done the work out. Though I don't know how fast you go out, just ease into it and don't overdo it.
