I have been thinking..If weight lifting is safe if done correctly with good form, etc, then why are even knowledgable ppl who know proper form and know their stuff get injured? are you just bound to get injured at some point of your weight lifting career?

 OK... I am trying to run for the first time in probably 15 years. I went out and bought a new pair of shoes because my feet were killing me. Now, my shins hurt when I start running. I think that is called a shin splint, but have no idea.

I am 5'10" 180 lbs. I have been walking for a while (on a country road), so I am trying to add some running in there while I walk. I have to stop running after a few hundred yards, not because I am so winded, but because my shins hurt.

Are there some stretches I need to do, or something else that I should try?

THANKS!!!

Some good games and some blowouts this past weekend.

As a Celtics hater, I enjoyed the hell out of game 1 against the Bulls on Saturday. The game was fantastic and so close from start to finish. Rose put on such a performance and it's so hard to believe that he's only in his first year. The calmness that he plays with is so rare for someone his age. Watching Paul Pierce clank at the free throw line brought a smile to my face and while I really like Kevin Garnett, I'm not sad that he's sitting out.

Nuggets-Hornets is going to be a very physical series and I see it going the distance with the home team probably having the edge in each game. Billups was money from 3 point land last night. I'll have a lot of fun with this one since watching Billups and Paul is a joy.

Rockets-Blazers. Maybe the Rockets finally get out of the first round? I didn't expect them to crush the Blazers on the road at all. I'm not afraid to say that I fully believe they're a better team without TMac. Seems like most "experts" are afraid to utter those words. If you play through Yao Ming and play tough defense you have a chance to win every game. Of course the Blazers are going to come back strong after such a beat down. Not sure if they're ready yet though.

Lakers-Jazz. The last game of the regular season said it all. The Jazz just aren't what they were last year when they played the Lakers really tough. I see this series ending in 5 games at the most. They might be able to get a home game. Lakers are fully loaded and looked like they were just toying with them. Ariza + Bynum this year compared to last. It's a major difference.

Sixers-Orlando. Okay, I think SVG blew this game. He looked so worried on the sidelines and the lead they built up vanished before you knew it. Orlando is a very good team and they'll most likely win the series, but they lack a leader and it shows. As for the Sixers, they really don't have much to lose. Just like what I said about TMac, I think this team is so much better without Elton Brand. Yes, he's a good player but this was a horrible fit. They couldn't figure out how to make it work and he slowed up the game. He goes out with an injury and they start playing the way they did last year. It won't win you a championship, but it gives you a better chance in the first round. Also... pass the ball to Howard!

Cavs-Pistons. Like every year, the Cavs get an easy first round opponent. The Pistons packed it in long ago and were lucky to stay in the 8th spot. I see this being a sweep and would be very surprised if they let up and allowed the Pistons to steal one. They clearly want to keep up with the Lakers.

Mavs-Spurs. A very good job by the Mavs in game one getting a game on the road. The Spurs aren't going to lay down, but they aren't at full strength and age is showing. The Mavs were so lucky to avoid the Lakers and got hot at the perfect time. Dirk looks like MVP Dirk again and the rest of the guys have been showing up as of late. Still, can't count out the Spurs and Greg Popovich since he's a master and making adjustments. They just haven't been able to defend as good as years past.

Hawks-Heat. Heat got killed and I was a little surprised by that. I think this one could go down to the wire since Wade can win some games all on his own. But he chose a bad night to have a terrible game. They just couldn't get going and the Atlanta crowd was fantastic. Josh Smith was catching just about everything Bibby was throwing up. Pretty awesome to have a guy like that on your team.
