Pain Pain and mo Pain...
Ok so I have been all excited about some new running shoes I purchased a few days back. Well initially I noticed that my feet and knees hurt after running in them but disregarded it thinking that I just needed to "break the shoes in!", well that is not the case... the shoes broke me DOWN! I felt great at the start of my run this morning and was really confident about getting in my 11 planned miles. After getting into my run.. my conditioning felt great but my feet were hurting... after a while I worked through the pain and chugged along fairly well for the 11 miles... so much so that I took another lap around which brought me to a total of 14!
Well I did not notice it until I stopped running but my feet were in really bad shape! So much so that later that day I literally could not put pressure on my right foot! Ok needless to say I managed to hobble into the shoes store and ask for a credit! Definitely could not take another step in those shoes and being in so much pain I did not feel comfortable about making a decsion on another purchase.
This is a bummer because even in my old shoes I was running great with no pain, although I probably have a bout 600 miles on them and felt I needed a new pair. My goal was to avoid injury with a new shoe purchase and I find that I created an injury. Probably my fault for trying to change shoes!!! Will probably go back to old faithful!! |
