So, my left foot really hurts, i'm pretty much limping around right now. I had to skip this morning's walk/run, and i'm not at all happy about it. I'm not sure what caused the pain either. i've been doing the couch to 5k program, this week is week 5, and i've been doing just fine, a little soreness in the knees, but other than that nothing. However, one day last week as i was walking i got a pain in the bottom of my foot, i assumed it was because i'd picked up a little rock or something and just kept on trucking. I'm not so sure anymore. the pain is now on the side of my foot and it hurts with pretty much every step i take. So, while i know none of you can give me a medical diagnosis, has anyone else experienced anything similar, and could it be caused by wearing the wrong shoes? The shoes i've been running/walking in are really old( i bought them august 2003), and i've kept using them cause i just can't afford new ones, but if they're causing this pain i'll be forced to replace them, i hate missing my workout. Thanks for the help.
