OOH! Running!

Best thing for shin splints, EVAR. I speak as someone who has marched and run plenty of miles in shit-awful boots:

Using that muscle that runs along the front of your leg, pull your toe towards your knee. Hold it until you get a bit of a burn. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat a lot. Do it at work, on the metro, while reading a book. This is basically the stretch you mention but without having to stand.

As far as drinking water, I'll quote Coach Eric from TJ Crew: "drink until you pee clear." (YMMV -- I take vitamins that make for a lovely fluorescent effect. :D)

I like to breathe 3 small puffs in and 2 small puffs out. This keeps my vocal cords from seizing up.

Your friend in plodding,
E.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
