Foot Pain?

Is anyone else having trouble with their feet hurting like mad during the workouts? I had to stop last night because it was just too much no matter what I did. It's like they are cramping up or something. As soon as I stop the pain stops. I thought it might be my shoes, but did a search and it seems to be a common issue for some. I'm not real sure what to do about it, other than maybe skip the jumping for now on which seems to be when it starts!

    Mine was tendonitis.. right at the top of your foot..

    Rest .. drink lots of water.. icy hot.. repeat (Took about 2 weeks)

    Worked for me :)

    I hope it feels better soon.

    I've had wrist pain during the push-ups and well after (no doubt from carpel tunnel)...going to try wearing braces today and see if that helps. If not, I might have to do some modification during the push ups.

    Yesterday I rested, but then realized that I should not have been trying to push through the pain. My right foot was all swollen and sore all day! :( Going to rest again today then try again on Monday I suppose.

    Are you feeling any better?

    In my experience whenever I have really pushed through pain (not fatigue but physical pain) I have ended up injuring myself and am laid out for weeks or months. I think I just want results too quickly and tend to be really critical of myself. You'd think I would have learned after the first time!

    Anyway, take care of yourself!

    I had knee pain on the outside of my right knee as well. Took a couple days off, then stuck to jump roping a little bit on those days. Today, I have a little bit of pain on the inside of right knee. I'm really trying to take it easy, rather than sticking to the challenge, mostly because I'm deathly afraid of getting a worse injury.

    I am happy to report that I have not had any foot pain but my calves were killing me. So I skipped day 3 and then to get ready to bike the weekend away, I skipped day 5-7. today I'm going to try and get back on track. Hmmm...Are we on day 8 or 9. Darn, now I lost track. Anyway, I overdid the biking so my left knee is feeling "weird". I'm going to be very careful.

    I plan on getting back on track today, my foot is feeling much better. I will probably go light on the jumping moves however, especially if the foot starts hurting. I do the elliptical as well so I should get plenty of cardio in.
