Plateau weight but better shape

Since last post, weight has remained steady at 97kg, but my muscle tone and shape has improved. Getting compliments from fellow gym rats that my upper torso in particular has improved. I suspect it is more to do with better muscularity and less fat. Having said that, I have seen some increases in poundages especially in arms and back, with strength gains in quads.
Started getting ready for City To Surf 2012, August. Feel much better doing 5 to 7 klm walks with less weight to bear. Even have Incorporated some jogging in the walks. Average times so far are on or just under 7m30s per klm. New ASICS help, but getting shin splint pain on front left shin, which oddly feels better when I jog?
Maybe as my body gets more used to the walking/running, the shin pain will dissipate.
