I really want to run. I've been trying for a while now.
I started the C25k this past spring. My first time out I had to go home after 10 minutes. My feet were so swollen I literally had to cut my shoes off. The shoes were pretty old so I blamed them. I got new shoes. Just as bad. However, having just spend over $100 on new shoes I wasn't cutting them off. I put them in a large bowl of ice until the swelling went down.
Finally, I went to the doctor about the pain. She diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis. I've been doing the stretches, I got the shoes, I do the bottle of ice...It is better, but I still can't run without my feet swelling beyond belief. Plus the pain is so intense.
Does anyone have any suggestions or should I give up?
