Most running stores will fit your shoes and analyze your stride for free - probably worth checking out. I've had a similar issue before, but it usually resolves itself. As for feeling crappy early, that always happens to me, and I've yet to find a solution. My runs are on a bell curve, strength-wise, and have always been that way. I think your bod just needs some time to get into the groove. Good luck! Agreed that the numbness is probably a shoe issue.

It is cool that you are trying though. Maybe you are like me and have the marathon gene instead of the sprinter one. my trainer actually told me that so it is real. the first part sucks cause we are not horses or greyhounds. you need to run like ken…get a jack daniels, go to your chair and visualize yourself running while you watch teenage girl shows on the “W”.

Plus it's how I keep up on what the heck your doin'! If all else fails (and Katy is probably right...new shoes) try orthodics. (sp?) Mine took away back aches, etc. Good sports therapist/trainer/chiropractor (maybe even GOOD sports/running store) can point you in the right direction for good orthodic inserts. I use mine in every pair of shoes I wear. Love, Dad (Pop) Yes, I read your blog…cool, huh? Plus it’s how I keep up on what the heck your doin’!

Ha! You'll kick my ass and I'll like it:) My take on the numb foot. OLD shoes. Get some proper running ones. Don’t be scared old man! Ha! You’ll kick my ass and I’ll like it:)

I feel like a slug and should probably get back into it. My take on your questions: 1) I would guess it's the way your shoes are tied. Remind me tomorrow and I'll show you a couple of ways to tie them that might help. 2) I think it just takes the body a few minutes to get into the rhythm of the run. The same thing happens to me and it's a lot more noticeable if I don't do a warm up before the run. Do you have any sort of warm up routine? Great job with the running.
