Troubles brewing. I'm through only my fifth consecutive week of running and I've hit a glitch: right foot, localized pain in arch (it feels like I'm walking on a bruise) for five days. I knew I needed to ease into this running thing, but come on! Is 6-9 miles a week too much?! The day after I increased my mileage, my foot KAPUTT.
I've resorted to a.)wearing my orthotics I gave up on years earlier b.)ibuprophen c.)ten minutes of ice three times a day.
If you think this is going to discourage me, contrare. I'm already addicted. I wake up before my alarm clock on running days because I'm so excited to hit the trail. But what am I going to do about this foot!?

word up char... i had that problem about a year ago... it was my shoes. not the right fit. so that may be yours... shoes old, shoes new, maybe go with a different brand.. i don't know but after i changed mine i din't have that problem!!
Isn't that weird how shoes can fix things like that. I guess there is only one thing to do; buy new shoes. Shucks! (Hehehehe)
