    no, I do not think that this is normal at all! I have ran three half marathons, and although my whole body generally hurts for the rest of the day, I have never had this foot problem. sounds to me like it is definitely time for new shoes.

    Try getting some lotion and rubbing out the tendons on the bottoms of your feet in the arches. When you hit a sore spot, stop and press for a little while. This will hurt, but it should also help.

    New shoes might be in order. Continue to rest, or go for a swim. I've visited my chiropractor when my joints hurt, as well. If they continue to hurt, a visit to a podiatrist might be in order to ensure you don't have an injury.

    Best of luck!

    Where does it hurt on the feet? If it is the heels, it could be plantar fasciitis.

    Thanks guys. I knew my sneakers were a little old, but I didn't want to get new ones two weeks before the 1/2...
    I am going to Charm City Run tonight, they are having a Brooks Ladies Night! WOOT!
