Sounds like did needs to get you an early Mother's Day present.
Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

But why in the hell can I not get more than 200-250 miles out of a pair of shoes? This crap is getting old. Every shoe I have ever loved has started giving me issues by the time I hit 225 miles or so. Like clockwork.
It is so rare for PF to bother someone only towards the end of their long runs i would rule that out.
I find that statement interesting. Your shoes consistently give you problems at around 200-250 miles? In a way, that's good because we are narrowing the cause. It could be that your feet are sensitive to the proper support of the shoe. Your best bet is to have your gait analyzed. Perhaps it's not as efficient and the shoe does much of the correction for you. Just a thought.
I've got a fever...
I still think it's nuts that I can't get more than 200-250 miles out of most shoes, though. Gah, think of the money I'd save if I could actually get that recommended 300-500 miles/pair!
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
I think you should try going to a good running store and have them analyze your shoes and your gait as you run on a treadmill. They may have some suggestions. Back in the day Gazelle Sports was really good in the Grand Rapids area; I'm sure they're still around now. I was also thinking that you should pay close attention to the $/mi calculation that Eric has set up in our shoe category. You may find that a certain shoe is more economical (even if it costs more up front). Cheers, Jeff
Hello from the geeks podiatrist friend Pain on the outside of the arch could be PF, and you should stetch, ice, Motrinize, ect It could also be cuboid syndrome or peroneus brevis tendonitis. It is so rare for PF to bother someone only towards the end of their long runs i would rule that out.
