I missed out on this challange as I just found it. But I was wondering since everyone here is either walking or running about proper shoes. I am looking for suggestions. I have arthritis in my left ankle and some times it gets really stiff causing me problems just walking normal. There really is no rhyme or reason when this flares up, but I am thinking I need a really good shoe with proper support. I have bad arches and need lots of support but cannot seem to find a comfortable walking or running shoe.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Love the tickers you use and I am adding that to my signature. :happy:0 -

I have flat feet and bad knees, and I've been wearing Converse. Don't get these shoes... they will not help you, they don't help me but its all I have atm. Once I lose 2 more lbs I'll be in the market for some new shoes. Anytime I switch shoes my knees will hurt for hours or days.... I also have arthritis in them which will cause them to ache anytime the humidity is up (my knees predict storms!)
When I was young my step-mom always made me wear Reeboks because they have high arch support. So I would look into that brand. Go to a specialty store, they will measure you and watch how you walk/run and find the perfect shoes for your feet. It may be a little on the expensive side but if you are heavily training it will definately be worth it.0 -
2.83 on the elliptical today...going to update my ticker now!0

oh, I forgot about the bad knees...lol But I think you are right I may go to a speciality store. I don't ever think I have tried Reeboks maybe I will take a look at what they have out. I don't mind spending the money for a decent pair of shoes especially if they are going to provide the comfort and support I need.0

Definitely try some on and walk around the store, and ask about their return policy lol I went through about 6-7 pairs of shoes before I found some that I can wear. I would always get cramps in my feet, I haven no arch, which is probably because I don't wear shoes about 90% of the time...I'm just always barefoot. So shoving my foot into a sneaker...no bueno...
But I finally settled on a Nike on my aunt gave me (because she didn't like them), I was skeptical because they looked very similar to ones I had bought already and taken back, but to my surprise they were comfortable enough for me to walk 8 miles in so far. I usually cramp up within the first mile or so, and that's when I know the shoe is going back to the store!0 -
Hi and another 3.5 miles done today!!!0

I got in 8 miles today.
Not sure ill get to 200..I may lower it to 150. I'm doing other workouts so my walks are less. 2-3 days a week i play on my wii all morning..then evenings i go out for 2 hours and walk.0 -
Learning2LoveMe... Thanks a lot for that chart! I can really see how good I was doing in week 1 compared to number 2. I'm especially impressed that you managed to figure out my weekly miles without me hardly posting. Nice work! I appreciate that. I lowered my goal to half what it was though. If I can still reach that, I'll be happy.I went to ticker factory and copied and pasted this, but my ticker didn't show up just the words - what am I doing wrong?
I agree with continuing this through November. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get in all 100--but I rented one of those 'walk away the pounds' DVDs from the library so I'll get an extra 5 miles per day in on top of my outdoor activities so I should make it!I have arthritis in my left ankle and some times it gets really stiff causing me problems just walking normal.

Only got in one measly mile today, but I only had like 30 min before Zumba haha, so I barely fit it in. Tomorrow I'll do more.0

Just passed the 1/2 way mark to my new goal of 50 miles walking. I feel good to have done this much, but sad that I had to lower my goal. :ohwell:0
