Enthused but 'splintered'

The 61:23 run on Saturday really got to me. I never even imagined I would clock over 60. So here's my plan - consistent 6 milers not more than 55min. (Thats going to be only during races)
I know with my shin splints, that is not a very wise decision. But am going to stick to a plan I have chalked out after reading up several sites. This is the first of my running blog diary posts. Hope to carry on till the goal is reached.
Ran 3miles (30:00) yesterday. The shin splints started like..almost immediately. I did the stretching, had the calf-shin sleeve on. But the new Nikes. Tried changing my stride, my strike, pace. Nothing helped! Stopped and did the stretches again and that seemed to help. Weather was beautiful! Well hydrated. Two 6" spicy italian from subway and 2 cookies. Slept at 11.
Am going to try and return the Nikes and get something different.
