However, there's one little thing: I have the best shoes in town but I actually have shin splints. I'm thinking about training in FiveFingers Vibrams or minimal shoes like Nike Free. Shoes industry is telling us that we MUST have good shoes. How come the best runners in the world run in sandals ? (From the book "Born to Run") I'm really wondering... Feet are made to be free, not to be freezed. Thanks for sharing those lessons learned Having fun during my runs is the #1 reason why I run.

As with any injury it's good to listen to your body and rest until you don't feel the injury. Knees can also respond to moist weather-conditions, increasing the water-level in the knee. In response to your first question, I recently joined a running-club where I get training in running-form and different types of running/racing; through it, I also ended up in a few races already. I also bought a book on running and all it includes, though there really is no substitute for a real life teacher. Just do a search on Amazon and pick the one where the comment's are most postitive/informative. Also, it's important to get the right shoes for running and not run on them for longer than two years. Check out your local running-store for them (by that I don't mean a general sportstore). As for two, I'm not from Manhattan, but a Google-search has never failed me. Hope that helps.

I needed that. I never imagined myself as a "runner" until I decided to take my child to the walking path at the lake. It's a straight 1 mile with access at only the two ends, therefore you go down a mile and have to come back a mile. She and I would go off on our own pace and somehow get thru it. Soon I found that if I counted my steps and ran some predetermined number and alternated with walking the same number of steps, I'd eventually get back to the car. Pretty soon I would run 1/4mile (marked) and walk the next 1/4mile for the 2 miles. Eventually I could run 2 straight miles. Then I hurt my back. That was over a year ago with the all clear from the doctor for 3 months now. I needed to hear this today. Couldn't remember what I taught myself last time. Thanks. Thanks. I needed that.
