But I got shin fling. After less than 1/2 mile, my shin very hot and hurt. I stop and stretch, after another mile I stretch again. Then after 2 miles I feel better and run the rest of the way. But it was hard. I constantly cheer myself up. Come on Mai, you gotta do this. You can, just reach to that lamp post over there.... ughgh

Sounds like
plantar fasciitis. Is the pain on the bottom of your heel?
Ice, NSAIDs, roll a golf ball(rolling pin, baby food jar) under your arch.
Stretch your calves.
For the shins: tap the shin bone near the knee and near the ankle. If that does not make it hurt, proceed for
shin splints.
If it does hurt, see your doctor.
Again with the ice and NSAIDS.
For both of these you need to find alternative activities to give the injuries a chance to start healing for at least 2 weeks.
