I really want to complete my journey because I have a physical to pass. I await your reply Please and Thanks much Hi,I have numbness in my feet when I stand too long, my left foot mostly, when I go jogging it numbs a lot and my ankle and calf hurts a lot too, the further I go the more I feel it, so I always cannot complete my target because I have to stop, after I stopped in a few minutes it goes away.

This is the first time its ever happened to me and ive run a lot with these shoes.... So it may be possible that i just need new running shoes? Is their anyone who only experiences this when they are running a longer distance?

That can make a big difference in leg and knee pain. You might also want to look into getting some trail running in, which may aggravate your knee less since you won't be running straight forward all of the time and you'll be forced to take smaller steps. If there is any chance of finding the time, you may also want to see about doing some weight training. If you have weak muscles, especially from an old injury, then finding a personal trainer that can help you develop that area of your body can make a big difference. Many injuries are simply caused because we do the same thing over and over again and don't work on all of the different parts of our bodies as we go along. Are there are any local 5ks in your near future? It's a good example to set for the kids, and they can often have fun with the kids races until they are old enough to race on their own...

I took several years off from running and just recently started again. Actually, it's more like jogging than running, but I digress. Sometimes the outside of my left foot and back side of my left knee go a little numb. I try to stretch this area out after each run which seems to help. So far, I have been running consistently for over a month now. This is a huge deal for me since I was an avid exerciser (soccer, tennis, and running) until I slowed down for motherhood about 10 years ago. At least I walked a lot during those ten years. When I run today I will be careful not to pull my laces too tight. Maybe that will make a difference with the numbness. I think the problem also emanates from an old knee injury that occurred when I missed the last step on my in-laws basement stairs a few years ago. I definitely know the area is weak, because I pulled the hamstring in that leg during a game of tag with my oldest son not too long ago. Now I try to be careful when I run as to not aggravate the injuries. Maybe the shoe thing will help too. Thanks for the insight. Hi Blaine-
