Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom. I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed. I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011. I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs. When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time. After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022. I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

Was having issues with my shoes today. Yesterday my feet hurt and went numb. So today I put an extra pad in each shoe. On the positive, my feet didn't hurt when I hit the ground anymore. However, it made the shoes not fit right... the left shoe felt kept coming off the heel (kinda like a flip flop) with every step. The right toes went completely numb. Ugh. So basically like the left shoe wasn't tight enough (no matter how I tied the laces) and the right shoe was too tight (no matter how I tied the laces). I've never had these problems before. It's always something, isn't it? I mean I finally get my quad/groin injury feeling better and now I'm having strange shoe problems.

Maybe I need to go up a size in shoes. My feet measure 7.5 and I've been buying 8.5 shoes... but maybe I need 9. Maybe these orthotics no longer fit my feet correctly. Maybe one foot is bigger than the other and I need a 9 on one foot and 8.5 on hte other. This is weird.

i had a friend in HS that had the same issue with her shoes/feet. she had to purchase two different sizes and then everything was fine. of course, this didn't help the store inventory much, but the running store she went to was happy to bring in custom orders for her. hope you can get it sorted out!

Thanks, Allie! I didn't know they would sell them like that... but it makes sense that the store might be able to special order them for me. I'm going to look into this next time I'm at my store. I do think one foot is slightly bigger than the other. Body Odd.
