Minor Tweaks
So I think I mustered up about 25 miles last week. I didn't go very hard since I am trying to ease my way up to a couple of 10 milers a week. By the way, I am using this site www.walkjogrun.net that lets you use the Google Map/Earth interface to map your routes and track your mileage. I recommend checking it out.
Sunday was beautiful and I ran down to North Ave. Beach. Too bad it was a crappy run. Leading me to a question to anyone who knows. My foot keeps on falling asleep when I run. I think its at about the 3 mile point when I start feel it going. I have tried to lacing my shoes differently and not tie my shoes so tight to increase circulation, but it happened again on Sunday. Any ideas?
Adios.

Hi Tim,
First of all, thanks for the WalkJogRun shoutout (I am the guy who owns it). About your feet falling asleep as you run. If you have tried your laces it could be one of two things I have experienced. One is that the elastic in your socks may be tight, reducing the circulation. The other is less cool but some sneakers hit your ankle where the blood flows into your foot and can restrict blood flow. Another shoe related issue is that you may have wider feet than your sneakers allow when your feet expand running. I would take a trip to Fleet Feet and have them measure your feet and tell you if the running shoes you have are a good match for your foot. They are really professional and will give you honest advice rather than try to sell you more shoes unless it's necessary.
Hope that helps!
Adam
