UPDATE: I had my stride analyized this weekend re my shin splint saga. I have a hypermobile first ray on both feet. Along with my short psoas muscles this makes me have a very had heal strike when I run with a very shortened stride, and I run on the outside of my foot to compensate for the lack of mobility in the first ray (joint where my big toe connects to my foot) and am unable to "roll" off the balls of my feet. But the bunion is painful and shouldn't be so I need to see a podiatrist to see what's going on there. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, guro chiro will continue to work on the psoas with adjustments and lots of excerses for me to help it along. Longer term will most likely be a custom orthodic that goes under the first ray to stabilize that joint. So, painful running days ahead. But I'm doing that duathlon if I have to walk both 5k's......

Dr. office just confirmed a 3/23 appt with a podiatrist so I'll let you know how that goes.
