I lied.

Today, instead of heart-melting golf lesson pictures I am going to whine about my legs. I promise pictures tomorrow.

You see, I started running with Eddie in the mornings. And besides the regular leg pain and the oh-my-god-my-lungs-are-on-fire-and-is-this-what-a-heart-attack-feels-like-?-pain I've also been dealing with that lovely sharp pain in the front of my shins that I know means shin splints. The problem, however, is that I have no idea what I am supposed to do about them.

So this morning, I asked on facebook if it was my shoes, my dorky running style or just the fact that I suck. A general concensus came back that it is probably my shoes. Many a suggestions were made that I go and get a running evaluation and some new shoes. What does that mean to me? That I probably am going to have to spend a butt load on new shoes. Shoes that honestly, may not see much action. Because honestly, I know I go through phases of things that I love, that I must do daily and then I wear myself out on the fun of it all and I think that it was a good time for a bit, but I'm over it.

And I don't really want to spend a butt load of money on something that I'm going to be over in a couple weeks.

But then that little voice comes into my head and I think about how good it feels to run. Once I get past the pain of it all, obviously. And how I feel that I could really do this for a while. So, now, here's the question, blog readers.


What do you think? Should I start begging Hubby for new shoes, or it is this fixable some other way?
