    @shanaber when you say
    I ran yesterday and it was low 50's, cloudy, foggy, drizzly with a cold wind. I had a pretty good run until around mile 4 or so then I started hurting all over
    hurting all over that is so strange. Do you think you have an electrolyte imbalance going on which is seizing up all your muscles? Is it more one location than another or does it happen all at once? I certainly hope you can figure this out with your doc and test results!

    Thanks @SummerSkier - it is hard to describe. Kind of like inflammation all over I guess. I used to get it after long or hard runs and after a couple of days it went away. This came on and hasn't gone away. My PCP is having a bunch of tests run and thinks it is likely an autoimmune reaction and now we just have to figure out what it is if we can. She really doesn't want me running but I am not good at that if I feel ok. So I think I mostly need to keep my runs shorter and walk when needed especially if it hurts.

    @globalhiker - No worries on ranting! That is what we are here for. I was going suggest something like Altra's since they are nice and wide, until I saw that you need a 12mm drop. I too have pretty wide feet and a bunion on my right foot and looked and looked for wide women's running shoes and they are so hard to find. I have tried Altra's and they are ok but I mostly run in Topo's but they too don't have a high drop, most are 0 and maybe up to 3 or 4mm.

    @martaindale - enjoy your taper week!

    If anyone has been looking to order a RoadId bracelet or tags I have a $10 off coupon code - 104FRIEND85
    I used to wear a separate bracelet, have had tags for my shoes, etc. but when I got the pacemaker it was recommended I have some sort of notification info with me all the time. So I got a tag for my watch band that is on all the time and shows as a medical alert in addition to having the contact info for my husband.

    @quilteryoyo I think it was cement blocks and bricks. Similar shacks in the area were filled with wood.

    @globalhiker I thought adrenaline was 12mm? I need a high drop due to Achilles problems. I have found saucony guide at 10mm isn’t a bad option. But you may need more arch support - separate insole may be your best bet.

    I have the tag on my watch also.

    Was able to get 10 miles in this afternoon. Temp was good (50F) but north 20mph wind gusting to 40 was tough. Felt pretty good though.
