Re...Michelle, Running shoes..replace 350-500 miles. Replace doesnt have to mean remove. If they are still good shoes you can alternate them, or use them for cross training, or as walking shoes. I never throw any of my shoes out. I am currently collecting them to donate at a run I am racing. <br />But if they still feel good then keep using them but I would go purchase another pair and alternate the two of them. <br />Treat yourself, after running 500 miles..You Deserve it!!!Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373617950052883061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650537279688481832.post-62946100691893126622012-03-31T07:15:05.015-07:002012-03-31T07:15:05.015-07:00Hi Anita,

I've been wearing them since October and they have 400-500 running miles on them, yet they still feel great. My feet feel great, my joints feel great. Any suggestions?<br /><br />Thanks!

I went to a PT...Clint Verran.. and He said it was my ITBAND. I continued to go to him to massage out my inflamed ITBAND and "Rolling" it out everyday twice a day and stretching allowed me to be able to run My race. I continue to roll it and stretch it but I do not have "that" knee pain any longer...that pain was from the inflamation putting stress on my knee. If you do a "search" on rolling I think I have pictures of how to roll....<br />Hope this helps..BTW...How are you doing??? How is the running going??<br />NitaAnitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373617950052883061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650537279688481832.post-56779270748538692542012-03-29T07:01:32.499-07:002012-03-29T07:01:32.499-07:00I love what you said, "A strong mind is not e...I love what you said, "A strong mind is not exercised if it is ignored" - that was great advice!!

I sometimes turn it off, so it won't interrupt me with something that is not important, but I can turn it on to make a call if I get in trouble, like if the weather is bad or I am going to be running really far from home (or any biking, in case of mechanical/crash). I will leave it on/answer it if I am using a young babysitter and not a family member/adult to watch the kids. Also, I had a lady once come up to me frantic because her toddler had locker her out of her home, and I didn't have a phone she could borrow. Thankfully, I was still able to help her, but just not as quickly as if I had my phone with me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624297955496298110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650537279688481832.post-41907681232102224762012-03-29T04:57:33.899-07:002012-03-29T04:57:33.899-07:00so you do not take gluco pilles for joints anymore...so you do not take gluco pilles for joints anymore? those are expensive and need to take 3 a day!
