Sorry i pressed the send button accidentally.

Well Id like to get your opinion as to what shoe i should buy. Should I buy a control shoe — you know the ones with the gray piece of hard rubber on the inner side of the shoe normally for flat footed people. or should i just buy again a normal shoe and just put an arch support inserts in them.

Can you help me pick what type of shoe to get?

Thanks a lot TBR!

God Bless

Hi Jaymie:

I dont know if you will still be able to read this but you see i was just diagnosed last weekend with plantar fasciitis!!! (does this name sends shivers to your feet?)

Anyways, good thing this diagnosis came as i was about to buy a new pair of running shoes

Hi TBR! Im your fan and am thankful to your nice informative blog specially the list of runs. I am beginning to like running.

Hey, I have been looking for honest athlete to share his injury in running. Because I got injured in doing Mens Health Urbanathlon last Nov 07. I got 3 sleepless nights. Thanks GOD they are only muscle injury and I can run and climb again Mt. Pulag.

I shared my experience in my blog at dumboqtpie.i.ph. Many here shared their experiences and I was not alone.

Thanks again. and GOD Bless you and all the athletes.

Jaymie!

As i was saying yesterday that we missed the bull runner as this should be your race! Hope you get well from your injury.

I agree now with banggi that you get so irritated when you miss your running/physical routine, which until now i am experiencing as well. hehehe

see you soon when your legs are strong and fast

injuries suck especially when they keep you from running. i feel for you, jaymie. i’m sidelined right now from running as well as most other forms of exercise so i’m slowly turning into putty.

take it easy. follow your strengthening, core and other cross-training regimen, and you’ll come out a stronger runner, and for the long term as well.

cheers!

Hi Jaymie.
Sorry to hear about your injury. but active (but careful) recovery is the key.
Maybe it is time to become a triathlete and work on cycling an running for a while ?
I have forwarded a couple of articles seperately on ‘water running’ which someone above already wisely recommended.
My coach simply raved about it when i tore my soleous (sp?) last Sept.
I hope it will help and good luck with the repair.
By the way… after tearing my soleous i went on to run a marathon only 6 weeks later (nov.4/07)…. my worst time ever (training interuption) but the leg held!
Regards,
Randall from Canada

I feel for you TBR. I was constantly injured my first 3 years in running. I also have chronic ITB. I got it running my first marathon 7 years ago and it has always remained with me. I have these exercises and stretches that I have to do constantly to keep it from flaring up. Dealing with it though has opened me to other sports and other cross training opportunities, same stuff you’re learning now. In fact it’s how I got into triathlon. After a major flare up that left me non-running for 3 weeks, I joined a beginner’s triathlon group. I did everything but the running. Go easy on the running on your way back and always stop any activity that aggravates it. Good luck.
