Yeah take a week or two off running for shin splints, keep doing squats, calf raises, wall sits, and hip-strength work, if you have access to a gym or bands, leg extensions and leg curls (do them daily if it's just bodyweight, will hurt the first week or two but you'll get through it). When you come back to running stick to soft surfaces (hard to find in the winter, if you can't its okay to run on pavement) for a while. Treadmill or elliptical if you have gym access. Also only run like every other day for like a month, maybe even slightly less often. Once you've done that, then increase mileage slowly but still only go 4 days a week. Once you can run 3 or so miles comfortably then start running more often and consecutive days. If you have access to a bike or any other 0 impact cardio do that on your days off and you'll get into shape quicker.
