BNL,
Carno is pretty dead on about his shin spints advice. The concern is not so much the splints but that they could lead to something much more severe, like a stress fracture.
If it gives you serious pain to run, even after stretching/icing, don't do it. If it continues to persist, see a doctor. My brother had splints that became a stress fracture and he couldn't do crap for weeks while he healed, so be careful.
As for your concern for a 1.5 mile run, I would say 12 minutes is a respectable pace. That is an 8-min mile pace, which is a "running" pace. I would say a 10min 1.5 miles indicates a pretty high level of cardiovascular ability.
I've read on Runner's World that 10min/mile pace is the cut-off between a "run" and a "jog." So, if you're running 1.5 miles in 15min, you are at a jogging pace. But hell, that's good!
Also, +3 miles =
16.25
