How are your new shoes? Do you still like them? Do you think you can the same amount of miles on them? I’m sorry I missed you at the race this year. How are your new shoes? Do you still like them?

I had them for a few years. Not really sure how they started or why they disappeared (other than the fact I wasn't running mega miles any more or on the track), but I digress. I've also had the calf cramps, and I can tell you those are worse. Just keep stretching the calves every day. It makes a huge difference. And btw, I will be in New York City on Sept. 27-30. Just wondered where you are in New York? I know what you mean about the shin splint thing! I had them for a few years.

I'm so glad to hear your shins are behaving. I would've never come up with racing flats as a solution, but whatever works!!! I know a lot of people who have shin issues and I'll start suggesting flats as a possible solution for them, too! Great job at New Haven, I need to do that one one day! very exciting!

I'm so happy to hear you are beating shin splints. As you know, I suffered for over a DECADE until I changed my running form and went to a minimalist shoe. Now, hopefully, someone suffering the same problem will read your blog and try what you have. :) Absolutely fantastic, Jon. I’m so happy to hear you are beating shin splints.

Not having that long drive this year was probably a blessing too! Congrats Jon, I’m glad you found a solution for your shin splints and had an awesome race.

I saw a vehicle with a bumper sticker that went something like: "If I have to die, let it be death by chocolate". Just wondering. Congratulations on the race -- and beating the shin splints!

I know I have weak shins from running, but I can't imagine running in those shoes. I think my arches would hurt. Though if those shoes could give me sub 8 splits......maybe.
