5. I would love to, but just get shin splints so bad it isn't worth it.

The only time I don't get them is setting the treadmill on an incline. I prefer to run outside for the varied terrain, but even then...shin splints. I did resolve sciatica with yoga so that doesn't bother me anymore. Any ideas for how to manage those darned shin splints? Would love to be able to run the dog.
