Today has been a long day and I'm getting a terrible case of terets. I'm not kidding. I'm talking to myself in four letter words and blending them into regular words. I'm doing well with a better healthier lifestyle but tonight I just wanted to consume - I didn't - Andy says to me - just go work out - I blurted more profanities and stomped downstairs - it took me two Bon Jovi songs to calm down and after that I found a good pace and made it through my workout. I'm not feeling as full of f-bombs now. They are lurking, but not manifesting.
Thank you to my husband for being courageous enough to tell me to go workout when I was full of madness.
Now for my runners - I know lots of you who come here often have run at one point in your life and some who continue to run. I run sideways - to the left actually - have all my life - I run into things - I know this sounds like I'm a little retarded (I know... I heard you... you are... ) but I'm not kidding. Right now I'm on a treadmill so when I start steering left I can make a quick correction but the middle of my foot - right below my middle toe is throbbing. It doesn't hurt while I'm running but walking in regular shoes the following day isn't great. Plus my knee on the left retarded side is also blah. Any suggestions.
(Please note that this wasn't supposed to offend anyone when I said retarded - I don't mean that in some kind of evil or mean way - I seriously think I have an impediment and am challenged when it comes to straight running - every word more sounds like a stand up routine, but sadly it is true.) Ok - so tips - suggestions - are there doctors who look at how you run and tell you what can be done to correct it... or is there no cure :)

My advice - go to a good running shoe store (specifically a running store) (maybe in PG?). A good store will have trained staff who will watch the way you walk or run and help you find a suitable shoe. Some even have treadmills that you can try out the shoes in store. It might be something to do with your pronation (under pronate/over pronate?). I just know getting proper fitting shoes made a world of difference for me when I was running a couple years ago.
Oh sure, someone else gave you good advice. As well, there are 'foot specialist' stores around if you can't find anyone trained well enough up there. There's a few around here (Good Feet Stores I think they're called, I don't know for sure though.)
Good luck from a non-runner.
Although we did just buy an elliptical.
