My ITB troubles were majorly stemming from my left hip being out of allignment.<BR/><BR/>The running sandals are intriguing to me.

I don't know any reason for it but it makes me think of snowboarding - the foot you have at the front of your board is meant to be your leading leg: you figure out which leg you naturally lead with. My front leg when snowboarding is my right leg so perhaps my left leg keeps getting hurt because it's not as enthusiastic about doing stuff like running and it just get's dragged along!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996853671515635004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-1160719836645686382006-10-12T23:10:00.000-07:002006-10-12T23:10:00.000-07:00I'm impressed you can put in that kind of mileage ...I'm impressed you can put in that kind of mileage so soon after your marathon.

Go figure.<BR/><BR/>Fit aside, I wonder if the sandals are more for the trails? I'm not sure I could get used to running in sandals.<BR/><BR/>Have you tried varying your lacing? When I had a near infected blister on the inner side of my forefoot, I re-laced skipping the first few sets of lace holes. It made a tremendous difference.<BR/><BR/>And one last comment...a couple at this year's North Olympic Discovery Marathon ran in their Crocs!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790953201589664954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-1160533724754118702006-10-10T19:28:00.000-07:002006-10-10T19:28:00.000-07:00Oh no, Michelle, Wes Is as directionally challenge...Oh no, Michelle, Wes Is as directionally challenged or unbalanced :) as you! Anyway, I had to run on the indoor trrack at the Y today due to having the kiddos with me. I could only stand 6 miles. I, too, had a difficult time starting out. Very sluggish and heavy legs. It felt better after about 4 miles though. Great to hear you got the sandals, sorry for the new blister! Hiope rest of the week goes well! I took a spin class yesterday and will tomorrow as well. Gotta mix it up this week as Paul is super busy with golf and I have a hard time with all those miles on the indoor track.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-1160528817095169202006-10-10T18:06:00.000-07:002006-10-10T18:06:00.000-07:00Great report on the sandals.

Sounds to me like you are always left, which is just as good as being always right, unless always right is wrong, in which case being left is better :-)Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.com
