shin splints

Treadmill or elliptical?

Q: Simon, I'm in the market for one piece of cardio equipment for my home -- either a treadmill or an elliptical. (This will be added alongside the bike trainer.) I'd prefer a treadmill as the winter exercise machine of choice, but I do have a history of shin splints, so I wonder if an elliptical is the way to go.

This past week with running or lack of

I only got out once this past week after turning a bad run into a good one. I got shin splints which were painful. It was also very hot. I had other responsibilities to deal with during the week and just could not get out and run. I felt bummed about it because of the positive experience I did have on the run early in the week. I plan on running as soon as I can. Hopefully Sunday at the earliest?????
