More than likely your anterior tibialis aka dorsi-flexor muscle and or the tendon is weak. It’s the little muscle over the shin that pulls your foot up. When you feel pain in the shin bone (tibia) that is a result from damage or injury to the muscles and tendons attached to the bone.

There are some exercises to strengthen the area I copied from my data base (I’m a fitness trainer):

Standing Toe Flexes:
Stand with the balls of your feet on the edge of a step and your heels extending over the edge. Your feet should be parallel to the floor. You can use an aerobic step or stand on the bottom step of a staircase. Slowly lower your heels toward the floor--slowly count to five to time the descent. You should feel a gentle stretch in your calf muscle and you should feel the muscles in the front of your shin contracting. Lower as far as you can but do not touch the floor. At the end of the motion, rise up onto your tip-toes in one explosive motion. Hold for one second the lower your heels back to the starting position. Repeat five to ten times.

Seated Dorsiflexion:
Sit on a chair with your knees bent 90 degrees. Rest the heel of your left foot on top of the toes of your right foot. Lift the toes of your left foot toward the ceiling while gently resisting with your right foot. Repeat five to ten times on each leg.

Hero Pose:
Kneel on a yoga mat with your shins and the tops of your feet flat on the floor. Keep your knees together and spread your feet apart so that your lower legs form a "V" wide enough for you to sit between. Sit back between your feet. If the stretch is too deep or puts strain on your knees, sit on a book, pillow or yoga block. Hold this pose for 30 seconds.

Reclining Half Hero Pose:
Sit on a yoga mat with both legs extended. Bend your left foot back so that your shin rests on the floor and the sole of your left foot faces the ceiling. Lean back on your elbows to stretch the quads and shin muscles. If you can, try lying flat on your back. Hold this pose for 30 seconds, release your left leg and shake it out. Alternate to your right leg. Increase intensity by starting in full hero pose and laying back into full reclining hero pose. Do not attempt full reclining hero pose unless you are able to sit comfortably in hero pose without support.
