Just as I was thinking Altra’s and Newtons are the best shoes ever and my knee issues seem to be diminishing,  a new problem surfaces.

The weekend after my trail 5K,  I ran 7 miles in the Newtons.  It was really even a jump in miles, but my left arch bothered me on this run.  I missed next two weeks running for other reasons,  and I resumed on May 25th when I ran 6 miles. This run was ok, but as soon as I stopped,  I had lots of pain in my left foot.  It was painful to walk. This seemed to come out of nowhere.  I did not even hurt while running.

I took a couple days off and then ran a couple 3 milers that week, both still with the ankle pain.  On June 1, I ran 7.5 miles.  My ankle hurt right from the beginning,  then slowly went away or was drastically less painful. But once I stopped,  the pain came back, just like the other runs.

Since then I ran 3 miles in my Nikes, my old shoes, with similar results.  I have taken 4 days off, iced, and taken Advil. I can tell it would still hurt to run on.

If you have had a similar injury as this,  please comment about it below. Thanks.  I will update you all soon.
