Blisters and pain

It's just about one month until the Army 10-miler and my feet are all kinds of beat up from a mix of increased mileage and new shoes. That, and I just think my legs and feet are wonky. I cut my run short today when the shin pain (it's baaaaaack) started in again. Argh--I hope I don't have to live with this forever. They say shin splints are a sign of weak calves. If I start bulking up my calves more, I'll end up looking like a German weightlifter. Hotness.
