I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
11.00	0.00	11.00

In salem with Jen, 7:38 pace. A little tired but not sore at all really from the race and feet feel fine. Such a frustrating and weird injury I am dealing with. Hopefully I can get into a doctor this week to get an opinion and a little clearer diagnosis.

PM: 3.8 miles easy, 7:45 pace. Felt really good.

What's wrong with your feets?

Such a strange injury Aimee that I've been dealing with for almost a year now. When I run fast + far the balls of my feet burn like crazy to the point it is so painful I cannot keep going. It hurts like the dickens....but is also easy to ignore/forget about because it only presents itself when running fast + far. I have self diagnosed with metetarsalgia but unfortunately I have not yet been able to self fix.

That is strange! I hope you can figure it out :)

Have you tried using a toe separator when you are relaxing at night (like after a pedicure)? It could potentially relieve some of the pressure on the nerves and joints. Might be worth a try.

I have weird feet issues too when I run fast+far. Mine is nerves that sit too close to the tendons. Nothing I can really do about it :/ So I just deal with it. I'm interested to see what you find out!

From Rachelle on Mon, May 06, 2013 at 14:59:39 from 159.212.71.25

Andrea - thank you for the suggestion, I will try that.

Carina - Very interesting. It really is the oddest injury. I can handle it for the half but definitely not the full..there is just no way! Have you found any relief from custom fit orthotics? Have you tried them? I think orthodics might be something worth trying.

From Carina on Mon, May 06, 2013 at 15:07:06 from 70.208.29.90

Yes, my orthotics definitely help, but don't take it away completely. I know you can get cortisone shots to help, I've even looked into alcohol injections to kill the nerve. But it never bugs me till I've run long and hard, then I forget about it. There is also surgery, but I'm not willing to do that till I've tried everything else.

From Rachelle on Mon, May 06, 2013 at 15:10:53 from 159.212.71.25

Thank you so much Carina! I am so happy to hear that I at least have some options to possibly provide relief.

One more question - did you go to a dr to get your orthotics?

From Carina on Mon, May 06, 2013 at 15:17:48 from 70.208.29.90

Yes, a podiatrist. Dr. Stanley Phillips, he has a few locations so you can google to see which works best for you. My insurance covered my orthodics (luckily). Normally they are $300. But I've had mine for 4 years and run 7 marathons in them and they are still great. So it's totally cost effective.

From Rachelle on Mon, May 06, 2013 at 15:25:17 from 159.212.71.25

Definitely worth every single penny if it helps. Thanks so much Carina!

Wow, you ran that half so fast and you aren't really sore?!! That's a testament to how fit you are. Figure out your feet and you will be unstoppable!

From Matt Schreiber on Mon, May 06, 2013 at 21:04:58 from 66.17.102.185

I really hope you get some answers this week about your feet. Its got to be frustrating. On a brighter note, how about you not being curled up in a ball after smoking that half!! Nice run today.

From JulieC on Mon, May 06, 2013 at 21:34:00 from 70.208.28.241

Just be thankful it is not all the time...every run every walking step....that really really sucks. I bet ortbotics will be the ticket. Dr stan phillips is great. Go to him for steroid injections.
