Mysterious Foot Trouble…
I’ve been doing a google search on this foot problem i’ve been having and have come up with dozens of possible causes. My weekly long run is up to 8 miles and every week, the morning after my longest run, the ball of my right foot is swollen…to the point where it’s painful to walk. Any suggestions as to what that could be? Are there any runners out there who have had a similar problem? I’m at a loss right now and the only suggestions I get from family members is quit running!

First of all, great job on staying motivated to working out, being a full time wife! Much respect! But believe it or not, your foot problem may be as simple as your running shoes. Or, it may be your technique? Check out both of them and see if that helps.

I couldn’t find exactly what the issue is, but try going to runnersworld.com. I love to run and I use that website for all of my needs and injury prevention. They have a forum too, so you could ask this quetion there. It could be your shoes, or you may be striking to hard when you run.
