Due to my knees killing me during my last long run. I decided it was time to get new running shoes. I decided to go with a different of running shoe one that would give me more cushion and arch support. I was busying running around the park and I started to noticed my foot was killing me. Oh, no! My big race is coming up in a week half.
This morning, I drove straight down to the running store. The sales guy was there and I explained my new shoes were killing me. I took off my shoe and explained it was my arch area of my foot. He took the time to explain to me that my feet are not use to my new shoes. The old running shoes really did fit differently. He said my arch was is probably not very flexible and that's way its all inflammed. He recommend shoe inserts to correct the problem.
So, here is the plan. Day one wear the inserts in my new shoes for 2 hours, second day for 4 hours, and third day 6 hours. After the three days are done. I'm suppose to go running with my shoes and inserts. If that doesn't reslove the problem he wants me to come back to the running store.
I must say my foot is already feeling better.
Oh, I just hope nothing else goes wrong before the race...
