I know what you mean. A couple of years ago it hurt me to walk so much I had to stop and rest every block or two. They thought I had Peripheral Artery Disease I was in so much pain in my legs and butt just from taking a few steps. Turns out I was just fat and extremely out of shape and my legs had just lost all their strength. Then I had to start walking to get stronger. Just small walks and that was enough to give me shin splints. The irony is that I had to go to a runner's website to see how to treat them! But eventually I got where I could walk again. But before Medifast, I was still catching a bus instead of walking 2 blocks. And now I can easily walk three miles. It really is miraculous. Sorry for writing so much but I could really relate.
