Going all the way today!

Princess 1/2 is less than a month away. Today I am going to do 13.5 and hope I live to tell about it. The past 2 Saturdays, I've done 10 miles in 2 hours and 15 minutes so I'm cutting it close. The weather is perfect today - sunny and going to be in the 50s. I have had this wierd pain in the ball of my right foot the past few days. Only when I run and then it goes away. It's kinda inbetween my toes and the outer part of the ball of my foot. Anybody have any ideas what to do? I wear good running shoes so I don't think it's that. Oh well, no pain, no gain.

Can't help with the pain deal, but hope you have a good run.

How many miles do you have on your shoes? That pain sounds like a shoe issue. Even if they are not that old the shoe store may have fit you with a shoe that was not appropriate for your foot. A local shoe store put DW in a very neutral shoe that started causing problems for her at around 9 miles, with only a couple of hundred miles on them. A different store put her in a more supportive shoe and it was like a miracle cure. I would recomend looking at your shoes, so you have time to get used to new ones before Princess.

I may have to look into this. I wear the Sauconcy Ignition 2. I've had them since November. I only wear them to run in so I'm not sure how many miles they have on them. Thanks for the info.

Hope that your run goes well. I second getting some else to make sure that you are in the right shoes. I went to 2 different stores that both did the "let me watch you walk up and back in the store a couple of times" method of selecting a shoe for me. I was having foot pain and decided to try a 3rd store. The video taped me running on a treadmill and made the decision based on that. The shoes they put me in seem to work much better.

Finished in 3 hours 10 minutes. Everything feels great except feet. I'm going to my local running store next week. Maybe they can help me.

Way to go

DW just changed her shoes last Saturday. Third time out with them coming up in a couple of hours and so far they seem to be better.

Good luck.
