<p>Definitely make sure you rest up, if you can make the time. I had some pretty horrible shin splints during Beast. It was definitely the worst part of the summer, being hurt. If you’ve been active throughout high school though, the runs shouldn’t be too bad. Get in shape beforehand, but keep in mind that they will build you up over the summer, so you’re not going to start out with long mileage runs right away. :)</p>
<p>Good luck with getting ready!</p>
