After running for track for my first year, I started to feel pain near my shin bone. I had worn down shoes and have been using them for a while. The pain felt so bad when I ran that I had to go to the doctor. They Diagnosed me with shin splints and recommended that I take a break from running. After taking that break, I started doing a towel stretch and started feeling way better.
