Right now they aren't unbearable. I have been nursing them every night after I run with hour long bouts of icing. This makes them feel almost 100% better. I also have been doing Stretch X, which is an hour long video from the P90X series twice a week if possible as well as my regular stretching. This seems to help as well.
I haven't had to deal with shin splints much since my high school cheerleading days. I always have made sure to progress in my running slowly to make sure I don't get them. I think that going from zero miles to 14 miles a week might have something to do with my problem. Hopefully I can keep things at bay for a little while and maybe they'll disappear soon.

Ouch! I've had them more than once and they are NOT fun. I'm sure you're not supposed to just run through them, but that's what I did both times and they eventually went away on their own. Hope they go away soon for you!
