I think they feel the same all the time, and then when they get old, sometimes I wonder if they actually feel old or if I'm imagining it because I know they're supposed to feel old after about 300 miles? I think I ought to bring my old shoes to a store and try the same model on in a new pair and see what the difference is - maybe that would teach me what to look for.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the injuries - I'm getting over a knee injury right now and literally feel your pain!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100746061554733157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993559124419423762.post-86950465596036784212008-09-04T11:02:00.000-04:002008-09-04T11:02:00.000-04:00I would go to a good shoe store and have an experi...I would go to a good shoe store and have an experienced shop put you in some new shoes. They can watch you move in them, and help you choose what is right for you. I hope that you can get it all figured out. Running in pain isn't any fun at all. It's hard enough as it is. :-)jahowiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811401776273137603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993559124419423762.post-81766015460176551762008-09-04T08:19:00.000-04:002008-09-04T08:19:00.000-04:00ITA with what everyone has said already, especiall...ITA with what everyone has said already, especially Nitmos and Progman.

(Shoes have definately f'd with my running in the past. Nikes mess with my knees, etc.)<BR/><BR/>If that doesn't help, get to a physical therapist asap. You could possibly just need a few adjustments. They can give you specific excercises and stretches that will help.<BR/><BR/>Good luck :)P.O.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16410533843419723414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993559124419423762.post-39898196153545039192008-09-03T16:08:00.000-04:002008-09-03T16:08:00.000-04:00Thank you everyone.

There are certain brands I can't get more than 200 from before my knees start screaming at me, and I have seen the odd complaint about Mizuno longevity. It could very well be your shoes, perhaps try rotating in a new pair.Progman2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/04084535988452978656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993559124419423762.post-22989767030871580312008-09-03T15:38:00.000-04:002008-09-03T15:38:00.000-04:00I second Nitmos's response.

You would most definitely feel it on the lateral side of your knee. <BR/><BR/>Could be the shoes. Might want to get your foot evaluated to make sure your are wearing the proper pair. But the very first thing you should do is go see a sports medicine doc. I know that is the last thing people want to do, but it is the best thing you can do for yourself.

My husband is dealing with multiple injuries, too and doesn't know why because he's also been doing everything right as far as increasing mileage, rest, ice, ibuprofen, etc.<BR/>With the marathon so close now, this is NOT good!<BR/><BR/>I wish I had some answers for you but we have none ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping you're able to get to the bottom of it so you can get back on track! <BR/><BR/>I'll be up in Mt.
