Seriously, shin splints are you body's first sign that you're training too hard. Heh i've had them since last march, and i tried to rest for two months in between, apparently it didn't help (at least for me). Rest, for it you keep on running you will eventually get really screwed up (like me...i'm 17 and i have chronic lower leg pains from cross country--knees, ankle area, achilles tendon, shins too). ....shoulda stopped when i first felt the telltale shin splints.
