Today I'm limping around complaining and, whining worse than Kate Gosselin.
I did a slow mile walk today at the park pushing the kids in the stroller and man did the hills hurt. I was really sore when I got home. I guess I'll be doing some cross-training next week.
Here's some charts for you. I'm going to try and post more of these weekly so you can see what I'm doing for my training. The 1st one is from last night you can definitely see where I was hurting. I used my Nike+ for that and, the second is from my slow walk today using the Run keeper app on my android phone. Which one do you prefer?
Anyone have any suggestions what I should do for my shin and knee?

Ice and rest. Be sure to rest, seriously, you can get stress fractures in your shins and that is really a PITA to get over, my friend had them and it took her over a year to get them healed because she didn't stay off her feet like she needed.
I also use Nike+ for my runs... and instead of runkeeper... I use dailymile. Both are a great way to help keep you accountable as well as allow you to see your progress! :)
I am sorry about your shin splints. Those are NO fun! Have you checked to see if it is your shoes? Perhaps try running/walking only on SOFT surfaces (no pavement)? Ice/Stretch/Rest :)
