I just heard about that thing reading the Emergency! book. Nope, I do not. If I have to do it au naturel, then any spot sloping downward behind me will suffice. Access to water will make it more bearable in the hours afterward...

LOL! I don't doubt you read it. But total horseshit that you used to be a fiscal conservative.
I always listen to Atlas Shrugged while running trails and working out before playing golf while wearing Merrill Trail Gloves. As minimalist as a shoe can be and still be a shoe. I love them. Like barefoot with just enough protection. I feel like a wood sprite dancing freely through the trees while wearing them, leaping logs and skipping down the trails, chasing fern fairies without a care. In a macho way of course. My dog is much faster than I am though.
Oh, and inflation has not increased their cost. Am I on topic?

I just bought a pair of these true linkswear sensei shoes, apparently someone completed a marathon in them and they are golf shoes, saw a couple articles on them in golf magazines. Then i also picked up a pair of the tour shoes, i figured its my firsy time trying these zero drop shoes, and they are cheap so i can just throw them out if i dont like them, not much for style, but if they get the job done ill be happy, just sick of getting shin splints on the 14th or 15th hole every time i go golfing. Ill let you know how they work out.

Only pure idiots believe the inflation rate is actually 1.2%, regardless of what the BLS reports.
Once you overlay the periods when the BLS made "adjustments" to the way it calculated inflation, you begin to see why the volatility was "removed" - as I've stated to you numerous times.
U.S. Inflation Outlook 2014: Signs of Life
Nicholas J. Johnson, Mihir P. Worah
January 2014
" We expect headline CPI to rise to around 2.0% year-over-year in 2014, with our base case oil forecast in the $105â$110 per-barrel range and expectations for food prices to be stable.
" PCE, in our view, will likely remain below the Fedâs 2% target, around 1.5%.
" Individuals will get some relief at the supermarket, but they will feel a pinch from landlords, who will likely raise rents.
"Inflation has been mostly dormant in the U.S. despite the Federal Reserveâs accommodative monetary policy, but it is likely to show signs of life this year. While slowly rising prices may seem desirable, prices that rise too slowly or even fall could have deleterious effects on the economy by incentivizing individuals and corporations to delay consumption and investment, and by making loans more expensive to service. Therefore, the Fed has renewed its focus on raising the inflation rate toward its 2.0% target for the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, which differs somewhat in composition and scope from the more widely recognized Consumer Price Index (CPI).
"For 2014, we see CPI rising to 2.0% from 1.2% currently (and core CPI rising to over 2.0% from 1.7%; see Figure 1). We expect PCE, however, will remain below the Fedâs 2.0% target. Individuals will get some relief at the supermarket, but they will feel a pinch from landlords, who will likely raise rents.

Shin splits are usually an indication that your ankle tissues or your posterior chain (from achilles to the glutes) are tight/weak. Time to strengthen or stretch those muscles.
Zero-rise or Vibrams should help with the ankles and feet.
Calf raises should help strengthen/stretch the calves.
If you have low back pain too (or lordosis from too much sitting), then I'd focus on stretching/strengthening your glutes, hip flexors, and hamstrings. This page has some good stretches for the hips - hip /glutes/hammie stretchs.
Squats (air or barbell) and deadlifts help also, if you're so inclined.
The lower leg issues may sort themselves out in a few weeks if you perform these consistently.
Bookmarked.
