Alrighty then. Thanks a ton for all the help and info. I'll give the wet feet method a try, as well as the treadmill recording (obviously I'll have to wait until my ankle feels good enough to do this). I'll be resting until I can afford new shoes anyway, so I guess that should be enough time for my ankle to get better. I feel really bitter everytime I see somebody jogging. It's not fair. :( |

Thanks for all the advice guys. I really appreciate it. :) wesmckean: I was actually planning on doing something like that On another (althoguh entirely related) note my ankle felt pretty decent the other day, so I walked on it for two days. Of course my girlfriend wanted to go to this celebration in Providence, so I was walking about 3 miles straight that night, but I didn't feel any pain or notice anything wrong at all. Yesterday while at work (I have to walk around a bit there) my right sock seemed a little tight, but I figured it was just because it was a new one and I hadn't worn it in yet. I get home and take off my shoes and socks and literally went "Ahh!". My right ankle was swollen up like a balloon. I guess I'm out of commission for a little while longer. I'm icing and wrapping it again, and if I have to walk I'll keep it wrapped and put the weight on my left side. I don't understand why it would swell up even though the pain is all gone though. Any ideas? |

Well that was an interesting and informative read for sure, but all it did was confuse me! :( I know that I can't run barefoot, as my body isn't used to it at this point in my life, but now I'm wondering if I should still go and get a professional opinion as to shoe type for my running style. This is considered a big purchase for me, as $120 shoes cost one of my paychecks, and I've got other bills to pay first. |

I understand what you're saying, but the only issue is I'm a college student with a part time job, so getting ANOTHER pair of running shoes may take me a week or two at least. Although I guess I already know what you're all going to tell me. It's better to not run and be sure that I don't end up with an injury, than run and risk it. It's just so hard for me to stop :( |

Assuming it is a pronation issue, should I cease running until I get shoes more suited to how I run? |

It generally takes me a little under ten minutes a mile, so if I ran for 30 minutes a day, I would end up at three miles a day, which is a little farther than my current goal for myself. When I start back up, I'll be content for a mile a day for a week or so, just to make sure my ankle is fine before I push myself again. Thanks for the tips, however, I'll definitely keep them in mind (in fact I'll probably bookmark this post). Upon further research, it appears that I am a fool and that you may be right about the issue being a pronation injury. I picked out the shoes myself, and as such could have picked out the incorrect type for how I (apparently) run. I appreciate your response and help greatly. Thank you. :) |

I'm the same exact way. I wonder how many people actually "save up" just to realize they don't ever end up using them. My issue seems to be that some days I hit around 1400 cal, and other days I'm at 1700 cal. Those are pretty much the only two numbers I ever end up at.. I'm a 20 year old male, and I'm just not hungry enough to eat more than I do. I know I should "technically" be eating more, but I have a sedentary lifestyle (it's a little complicated, but overall that's what I've got) and I'm only burning 2000 calories a day TOTAL when I can't go excercising.

| Okay so I just found a new setting, and I know I'm probably annoying anybody who reads this, so for that I'm sorry.
Now that I've adjusted it I'm getting a 1618 daily caloric intake goal, and my burn goal is still at 2310.. Once again, will that change with time or are they expecting me to kill pounds per day? |

| It's listing 2200 as my goal for caloric intake and my burn goal as 2310. I weigh 172 and am 5'8, and it's telling me I need to lose 27 pounds. Isn't that caloric intake goal a bit high, or will it adjust as I input more data? | |||
, at least to give me something to look foward to while healing :P I also feel like the people who tell me what type of runner I am, might try to upsell me, so as long as I find out what type of shoe I need, I can make the specific decision on my own. I'm not sure which stores I can/should go to where they'll have employees who actually know what they're talking about, any suggestions?
