I was thinking the same thing. I hate the treadmill.

Treadmill blows.

Anyone have any recommendations on dealing with shin splints? I am about 6 weeks out from my first 1/2 marathon and I am pretty sure I have shin splints starting. I have rested the last 4 days but don't know if I should continue to rest or try a short easy run.

I feel like everything was going pretty good up to this point. My long run is up to 9.5 miles at 9:30 pace. I was only planning on going up to 11 or 12 miles a couple weeks before the race and then backing back down.

Came across this article today

Need to start running more balanced throughout the week instead of skipping days.

I'm doing the Country Music but I'm only doing the half. It's my first one so I'm excited to see how it goes.
