Perhaps, wrong shoes, or mechanics?
Have you thought about trying a form of minimalistic/barefoot running? I started distance running about a year ago and my coach started me off in Vibrams. As a result, I don't heel strike, and land and rebound from my forefoot. I never have heel, foot pain, or shin splints.

I am really going to need the magic of Disney to get me through this.
