Back in the Gym
After my regular lunchtime swim, where I managed another 2000m in 30 minutes (doesn't seem like I'm getting any faster yet...) I went to see the doc for another treatment. While there I brought up the whole shoe issue, and my suspicions that the current NB 1062's I've been wearing might be the cause of my foot problems. After a bit of a discussion, and a close look at the shoes I was wearing (not my running shoes since I neglected to bring them with me) it seems I might be looking for runners that offer good cushioning and some stability to support my arches. I guess that's what I will be looking for, starting this Saturday when I visit a great running store in Markham called Running Free. Apparently they really know their stuff, and I will spend as much time and try on as many shoes as possible to come up with something that will hopefully work out in the long term.
Tonight I managed to get back in the gym for some light weights. I feel pretty weak, having missed a few weeks, and I'm sure the candy I've been consuming during and post Halloween is not helping matters either. I took it real easy...

Good luck at the running store. I hope you can find some shoes that work well for you!
good luck with finding the right shoes!
Oooh - good luck at the running store. I still can't believe how less injuries I get since I finally got fitted.
Good luck with the shoes, they make a world of difference.
Running Free is great, hope you find the right kicks!
Ooooohhh good luck with the running store :-) Hope they can help!
Getting to a really good running store is always a great idea. I had all kinds of problems with my Achillies until our local running store got me in the right shoes. I've never had a problem with my achillies since. I hope you have the same kind of success.
Halloween...Thanksgiving...Christmas...we've only hurdled one of the unholy three diet killers.
Ah, Nitoms! I have hurdled two, for Canadian Thanksgiving came in early October for us! I wish you luck in clearing the last two hurdles.
Yay for the running store. Good luck finding the right shoe.
Hope some new shoes will work out then!!! : )
Definitely worth spending a bit extra for good shoes.
i had some foot pain when training for SFM and then i switched shoes and it all went away... i hope new shoes do the trick for you!
