  1. Last weekend I ran my first marathon, felt pretty good until the twelfth
    mile. The front part of both feet started to hurt, kind of burning and
    eventually get numb. Every other mile I had to stop, remove my shoes and rub
    the circulation back into my feet. Heels were fine, just the bottom front
    and some of the toes. I wore decent shoes (Asics 2090's) with low miles on
    them.

    I am looking for suggestions, where do I start to correct this? Inserts?
    Different shoes?

    get better socks. get shoes that fit better. adjust your
    gait so you don't squirm. improve your ankle
    flexibility. get back with a report.

  3. See a podiatrist. Same problem, my podiatrist treated with a cortisone
    shot and orthotics. In my case it was a Mortons neuroma. Also I wore a
    pair of new NB 2001's no miles, vs a NB 2001's with 150 miles on them
    and I suffered much less. BTW I think the numb feet don't need rubbing,
    that is false information transmitted by my damaged nerves. I just wince
    and bear it while waiting for the numbness.

    If it gets really bad, I will have the neuromas removed sugically.

  4. Now, what was that word for joggers who need to stop during races to rub
    their feet...........Oh yeah, I remember now.........Nancy.
