da miles

I get something like that on my foot. For me, it was the stupidest thing. I found it was the plastic decorative/support pieces on the side of my shoe putting just a tiny bit of pressure on the outside of my pinky toe --where a bunion might grow. My toes would actually go numb after about 6 miles. Also, I have alleviated almost all knee/tendon pains (front and back)recently by using a rolling pin right after running (I read that in Josee's blog). I know everyone loves scraping, but I am currently in love with the 'free-ness' of a kitchen rolling pin. Use it along the IT/Quad/Hamstring (lie down and let someone do the hamstring for you). That and glucosamine have helped a lot. Take it from Grandma. It only gets worse as you get older! OK, Back to programming the Garmin.

Thanks; I could definitely do better on stretching/rolling. I get so lazy with that. I've also been doing the glucosamine and fish oil pills and think they've kept tendons and ligaments doing well despite my recent spikes in mileage.
