training for 5k<br><br>ARGH! Let me just start off by saying I am really frustrated right now.<br><br>Monday night I had an awesome run on the treadmill 30 minutes straight without stopping. This may very well have been the first time in my life I have ever been able to run 30 minutes without stopping not to mention on a treadmill (go me!). I am trying to get in enough shape that I can run a 5k on Mother's Day (May 11).<br><br>Well, I guess I had an ingrown toe nail on my right big toe (inner side). I sometimes get them, no big deal though. Cut the nail, put some antibiotic cream on the corner, slap on a bandaid and voila back to new.<br><br>Unfortunately, this time is has become so swollen its hard to walk. Seems to have happened<br><br>overnight. So last night I walked around my house carrying a big bucket of hot hot hot water with epsom salt and soaked it for 1 hour, then i lathered it up with the antibiotic cream and slapped some bandaids on it, like usual. Well, it was no better this morning! AHHHH.<br><br>All I want to do is run and I can't! The pressure of putting my foot inside any shoe is not pleasant. I was on such a wonderful "high" from Monday's run,90phWYJ Cheap UGG Boots,UGG Outlet How to Catch a Swarm of Bees, that I just can't wait to run again.<br><br>SO here are my questions for all of you fitness fanatics<br><br>1 has this every happened to you before?<br><br>2 what have you done to make it better?<br><br>3 have you been able to continue to run even with it infected?<br><br>4 if you stopped running for a few days, what did you do for cardio in the meantime? (I have a stationary bike at home. would that work?)<br><br>5 could this be caused by my sneakers? (I have been running in them since Dec. and never had a problem, but then again, I have never run for 30 minutes straight either.)<br><br>I agree go to the drs and get it looked at. That is priority number one. Second,97mxUHY Ugg Boots Outlet Store Business Podcasting - Right Place, either get fitted by a professional for your running shoes, or at least go buy a new pair and get them about 2 sizes too big.<br><br>6 Months or 600 Miles that is the standard "life" for running shoes because after that, the rubber starts to break down.<br><br>I do 5Ks all the time and I absolutely love them. I had a pair of Nike's I was running in and I would finish the race and an hour later my joints and feet would kill me. Finally went to my local running store (Running Etc) and got properly fitted for my shoes. Normally I'm a shoe size 8 8.5. They told me I needed a size 10! At first I thought they were crazy but I tried them anyway WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I also found out I have severe pronation when I run (which is why my joints were hurting so bad) so once I had the correct shoes on it was way better.<br><br>Also after getting proper running shoes, I cut almost 7 minutes off my time. What a difference. I love my Asics.<br><br>Original Post by mandymoo2182:<br><br>Second, either get fitted by a professional for your running shoes, or at least go buy a new pair and get them about 2 sizes too big.<br><br>I agree that getting professionally fitted is a great idea. I disagree stongly that you should just arbitrarily buy shoes two sizes too big. Shoes that are too big will cause severe problems just as shoes that are too small will.<br><br>If a professional fitter says you need bigger shoes, that's because you are currently wearing shoes too small, not because you need to wear shoes 2 sizes bigger than your feet.<br><br>Original Post by jdw3018:<br><br>Original Post by mandymoo2182:<br><br>Second, either get fitted by a professional for your running shoes, or at least go buy a new pair and get them about 2 sizes too big.<br><br>I agree that getting professionally fitted is a great idea,Cheap UGG Boots,UGG Outlet.

When I was fitted for my running shoes I was given a smaller shoe. I usually wear a 13.514, the woman gave me a 12.5 and said I could probably get into a 12 if I wanted. I declined because I am more comfortable in slightly larger shoes. The reason being that my cardio work outs are limited to 34x/week and at most 40 minutes. Usually I either jog for 20 minutes or jog/sprint on the treadmill for 2030 minutes.<br><br>They actually still look brand new and even the sole isn't worn down on them. I got them at Modell's on Black Friday (EDIT:$45 Asics) and they were the best sneakers there. I have a very high arch and they had the best fit I have ever felt with a sneaker. And when I use arch supports that you insert, my feet sit too high in the sneaker and I start to slip out at the heel (reminiscent of my problems with my soccer cleats).
