Hi everyone. I have a question. I've always run off and on but for the last few months I've been more regular about it. I run 4-5 days per week on the treadmill averaging about 2.5 miles per run. Today I noticed my ankle is swollen. Does this mean I run too much? Could running shoes be the problem? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

    Sounds like your body is doing exactly what it should do, inflammation from intense (not over) use. Ice and anti-inflammatory medicine or foods may help.
