I doubt I've run anything like 300 miles, but I have had them for several years, so maybe it's just time for some new ones.Allie @ Everyday Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221029819826266578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-5203675292585763852012-08-20T14:18:42.016-04:002012-08-20T14:18:42.016-04:00Hi Allie!

I bought mine at a running store and they did mention how the shoes are only good for so long - like 300 miles or so. I'm not sure how far you've gone with them but that might be it too. I hope the hurting goes away!

I don't plan on doing any more running (I really didn't enjoy it), but I may look into getting new shoes or insoles just for gym wear. I'll give those stretches a try!Allie @ Everyday Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221029819826266578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-81671600235066772922012-08-13T16:53:49.726-04:002012-08-13T16:53:49.726-04:00When you say your feet hurt, what hurts specifical...When you say your feet hurt, what hurts specifically? The one thing that comes to mind is plantar fasciitis since pain seems to be worse in the morning. Here's an article for you:<br />http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-241-286--6710-0,00.html<br /><br />The most likely culprit probably are your shoes. Shoes are constructed differently depending on what activity you want to use them for and depending on how people's feet strike the ground. Getting fitted for running shoes doesn't mean automatically mean that you'll be paying hundreds for new shoes. But a good running store can help you figure what type of shoe might serve you best. Pretty well every brand will make different tiers of shoes that will do the same thing.<br /><br />Anyhow, I don't think there is anything you are doing wrong. If plantar fasciitis does sound like what you have then start looking into stretching to help sort the problem out. I think rolling your foot on a tennis ball can help a lot too. If you decide to try running again then definitely get fit for proper running shoes. They don't have to be pricy, but they will help your enjoyment and help keep you injury free.
