Since I started running again, I haven't once felt any burning in my calves, which is unusual for me--but now it feels like I'm running the entire route with my shins alone. (I never thought I'd miss calf pain!) It doesn't hurt before I run, and it disappears when I walk after, but it starts at the half-mile point, and I pretty much lose control of my feet. I can't do anything but slam them against the pavement, and I'm just asking for something nasty to happen to my legs.

Does anyone know what might cause this? I did get orthotics recently, but this didn't start right away. My shins never hurt last year, and I'm sort of hoping it's not entirely the orthotics' fault...
