...And I know you know I want the ugly toe shoes :)<br /><br />Running is hard. I hurt IMMEDIATELY when I started. Hips, back, legs all over. Can you go run/walk in shorter bursts?

I'm going VERY slowly and I was so frustrated at first but now... I'm just so happy when I am out there, I don't seem to get as disappointed that I have to do this slower than most people do. I haven't been out since last Sunday when I almost passed out. I am oddly sick this week (with all sorts of pain and swollen glands) and I can hardly eat and walk up the stairs to bed let alone run. So I haven't been. I miss it.<br /><br />For someone who cannot run at all but is trying and amazed at what I can do now that I couldn't do 2 months ago, I would like to offer you encouragement and ask you to not be so disappointed in what you're accomplishing. Also some days will always be better than others. ;)<br /><br />And, yeah, perhaps you need different shoes?<br /><br />Hang in there!cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02878091225039313160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037225.post-11830846261237383932013-07-28T15:04:24.000-05:002013-07-28T15:04:24.000-05:00It definitely sounds like the shoes aren't rig...It definitely sounds like the shoes aren't right for you. I know it's a bummer when you spent a good chunk of change on shoes that you can't wear for very long.<br /><br />Have you thought about replacing the insoles with athletic inserts? The quality ones are about $40 to $45 at sporting goods stores. I bought "SuperFeet" in a pink box ($45) and they are worth every penny.<br /><br />I had miserable back pain during hikes when I was using a fitness ball as a computer chair at home. When I stopped using the fitness ball, the pain vanished. I also had back pain about the time I bought a new pillow.<br /><br />I look forward to your next blog update!!VeeBeeinLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261048565268453987noreply@blogger.com
