it seems like 5k's are my thing lately.  I know I said I was going to start at 2, and gradually increase, but when I get to around 2, I am not ready to quit.  My leg is still feeling fine, so I know I am not doing too much, today's preset went from 5.7 mph to 7.0, with inclines from 1.5 to 12.  The 12 @ 7mph really kicks my butt, and I have to hold on so I don't fall off!!!

Wow! That's an intense workout. As for 3.1 vs 2.0 miles, I think it's negligible. If you did an extra mile per day you'd run 4-6 miles more per week, which shouldn't cause shin splints or any other problems. Going from 2 to 4 or 5 miles is a much bigger jump that you'll want to gradually work up to.
