Nyal,
Thanks for the advice, I feel the same about my right foot. It's the one giving me the most greif. I tire out at 170 cadence, it's going to take alot of work to get up to 200, shew lol! I ran in xc flats today to give my metties a break and I actually ran 4 miles longest run so far with no issues. I put a piece of bicycle inner tube under my ball of foot. I usually get ankle pains from shod, but not today. I did however get a knee pain, which I also get from shod running. I know it's form related, I just had to get a good run in without alot of issues. I hate that I can't run like a normal person. It just makes my goal that much harder to reach getting through these hurdles. Again, thank you for the advice. I am going to try and work on it. I am hoping my vibrams come back soon so I can get them on and do a little better. I love barefooting it, but hate the bone sticking through my foot kinda pain. Sucks really bad!
