Broken toe nails, blood blisters, shin splints OH MY!

In my adventure down the 1/2 marathon yellow brick road, i have encounters some frightening sights. Perpetually broken big toe nails, blisters in between toes, blisters on my arch, Shin splints, runners knee, just to name a few. If I were as brave as my friend Tony (snowboarder vs. Tree) i would post pictures of my feet...but i am way to vain and also disgusted to show the world (world=6 friends) my grotesque feet.

Last night i went for one of my weekly runs and was really struggling with the pain. After 2 miles i decided to pull my super feet inserts out, and just put the regular inserts that came with my saucony running shoes back in. WHAM, ZAP, POW, BLAM, it was fixed. My feet did not hurt, my shins did not hurt. I felt like i was flying! I went from struggling through a 10 minute mile pace to comfortably running at a 8 minute mile...AMAZING!

My runs are pain free, for now that is...

  1. I believe insert are a scam to get people to spend more money on another product. =) My 2 cents worth. How's training? Are you excited? We'll have to do a race together one day.
