So, I did W3D1... and realized my shin splints were killing me. So I took a week off. Then I got a sinus infection, so I took another week off.
Then I took another week off, just because.
Where do I start back up at? W1D1 is what I'm thinking, but I'm not sure.

Two weeks off isn't too bad.
However, shin splints are nothing to trifle with. W1D1 sounds like a good idea. A slow start that leads to steady progress is much better than a fast start that breaks something.
Might want to double-check your running shoes and your running style, etc. If you keep having shin problems, see a doctor or other running-injury specialist.
Actually, it was three weeks off, which is worse by any measure. ;)
I think I'll split the difference and try W2D1.
Restart W3D1. It'll give you a measure of your current fitness. You can always re-do the podcast 1 or 2 more times if you need to before moving to W4D1 but you can totally do it!
