Listening to You’re Body

Owie… I don’t know if it’ sympathy pain but it’s hurting.  I’ve been feeling pain in my right foot and heel lately.  I skipped my running to make sure I don’t break anything.  Two weeks of healing and recovery is much better than being sidelined for an entire year. I know too many people that didn’t listen and continue to press their body through the pain like ya know, my bro.

I swapped my daily walking shoes, eased off the exercise, and relaxed.  It began to feel a bit better but I need to know what caused the pain.  Was it excessive exercise, poor nourishment, or maybe the shoes that I wore?  Friday, I started wearing the shoes I used to wear daily.  The pain returned in my heel and in the around the metatarsals of my right foot.  Problem found.  They’re great shoes but they’re over a year old.  It’s time to replace my year old walking shoes with a new pair.  Any suggestions for comfortable casual shoes?

What’s your body telling you?  How are you responding to it?

    Stinks about your foot (no pun intended), but I am glad to hear you are addressing the issue! I seriously need some good walking/casual shoes too! I just use my old running shoes for now, but I know they are gonna end up hurting me in the end too!

    That’s exactly what I did! I swapped those old shoes out for a pair of old running shoes on its way out. I definitely need to find something that feels good and looks sexy for daily use.
