Not Again?!

I believe that I am getting ANOTHER stress fracture in my foot...the left foot this time. I have had 2 stress fractures previously in my right foot (both times) during two attempts at full marathon training. I haven't been running that much recently which is what is so frustrating and concerning to me. I have been logging some longer runs on Saturdays this month because the weather has been so wonderful and it's felt so good! I went for a run yesterday and was about 6 miles in when I felt the familiar ache that started making it's way across the top of my foot and down the bones to my big toe. Per the doctor, I have extremely high arches and each time my foot touches the ground, the top of my foot flexes and the bones on top in turn flex as well. They are not supposed to move and the constant flexing causes them to crack and fracture over time. I think the problem is that my shoes have too many miles on them and my Super Feet molded inserts have worn out. I got them about 7 years ago and didn't think that they would wear out but according to my cousin, Laurie, they will. So, I told Brad that is what i would like for Christmas this year, new shoes and new inserts...you know you are getting old when you want shoe inserts for Christmas!
