I did run this cold morning think it was like 19 degrees, so warmer than it has been. I ran 5 miles pretty fast pace for ice still on the ground too, could not believe the time it was when I got home. Guess all this coaching figure skating gets my feet use to the ice:laugh: I need new shoes though like yesterday so what are your favorite running shoes could use help I usually run in NIke but want a different brand Nike Are not enough for me....

I love asics. I have a really high arch and need alot of cushion and support. They are my favorites. Tried a new brand recently and they didn't work out.

No run for me until my foot heals. Saw the doctor today and he thinks it is tendinitos. Could still be a stress fracture. Too soon to tell. I have to cross train and he wants me to swim. I hate swimming!
Oh well, this too shall pass!

Another Asics fan here too. I started in the GT-2110's, now have the GT-2140's. I find good deals on them at http://www.runningwarehouse.com or http://www.kellysrunningwarehouse.com Usually $5 or free shipping deals too!

Sorry about the foot. I thought maybe it might be tendonitis, that is what I had. It will pass, and swimming will help!! How about biking or the elliptical??

I finally got to run a little yesterday. Only 1 mile. Boooo. But I had a pretty fast pace going. I did some yoga yesterday too to help with some upper back issues.

Today it's BEAUTIFUL outside. Cold, but sunny. Wish I could run. But I won't be home till about 1:00 a.m. :noway:

Never tried the elliptical. How is it on the hips and knees? I have a gym membership that is going to waste so I might as well go and work out there until this heals.

Jess- what did you do to heal. How long did it take? :flowerforyou:

That is what I did when I was healing. Elliptical is very low impact but intense if you work it! You can use the arms or just the legs and raise the resistance for more intensity.

It took a good 6-8 weeks to heal and then I had to gradually get back into running again. Did the Dr. recommend taking anything for it?? They gave me a high dose of Aleve (Naproxen) when I had tendonitis. Let me know if you have any more questions about it!
