Before I went to Iowa, I was walking regularly. I had gotten to the point where after walking the 'easy mile' I didn't need to stretch. My legs and joints had become accustomed to it. The 'hard mile' with my two favorite hills, still tested me. But even those walks left me hot, sweaty, but not really tight. Stretching had become less important. I always stretched after a weights workout, or doing floor exercises.
Walking in Iowa was easy by comparison and I never bothered to walk afterwards.
Now I'm home and the shin splints have returned! I guess it's time to re-learn old tricks.
