Shin splints within the first few months of starting to run. I used to play baseball back then and I can remember walking out to the infield with spikes on and my shins screaming at me. Definitely the shoes - a friend who used to run about 15 minute 5Ks gave me a pair of his old shoes to run in! Can you believe that shat? I actually ran in hand me down running shoes that didn't even fit me - no wonder I got shin splints.
