so last night I started to do some walking with the pack.
I just got my pack about a month ago and have been wanting to try it out but the weather here has been cold, yesterday I finally got a decent day with nice weather and not much to do after work so decided to load the pack up with 20 lb and go for a mile walk in town. I did right at a mile on the pavement and didn't have a lot of uphill but this morning I have one leg that has some pretty good shin splint pain.
I assume this is just due to not being used to the walking that distance with weight. is this something you guy have noticed also when starting out? do I need to let it sit for a few days? I had planned to do a mile each night till I was used to it then start building up from there with distance and weight in the pack
