Hello! I am quite proud of myself tonight because when the rest of my family sat and watched 2 movies tonight, I chose to go to the gym and walk/jog 5km instead of not moving. My problem is, I am new to running (I have to work on the track and I often walk 1 lap/ jog the next and continue in such manner). Tonight , my right foot along the top above my toes, but below the ankle, is aching when pressure is put on it. I was wondering if anyone else experienced soarness in the feet when they started a running or walking program? Any suggestions on how to treat the achiness? I am planning on taking tomorrow off or doing a light walk instead of pushing myself. I really want to keep up with my running as I am training for a 5k in October.
I am serious about winning this war with my weight this time! Another thing that happens when I jog is my feet go numb! It is worse in my right foot, and I often have to stop and shake my foot to get the circulation going again. It can be annoying when you are working hard at a Heart Rate of 165 to have to slow down and tend to tingly feet!!! I was fitted at the running room for a good pair of NewBalance runners, so I know it is not a shoe problem!!! Any help/advice you all could give on this matter would be very much appreciated because I don't want to have to give up my running training. Thanks for your help! P.S. Do you think this will get better as I start to get under 200lbs? I truly hope so!!
