Handicapped :(

Damn guys, im injured :(
Remember how i went for that two mile run? well i woke up this morning with a bad very stiff leg...turns out wearing the wrong shoes can seriously cause harm to yourself
yesterday i couldn't find my running shoes so i substituted them for some cheap old vans i had like these

With hardly any cushion compared to my running shoes its no surprise that slamming my feet on hard concrete for 2 miles resulted in an injured knee :( now i cant bend it without it hurting...
im going to rest tomarrow and see how it is Tuesday because i want to continue my progress
D:


so lesson of the day grab yourself some good Running shoes or Nikes that have support. i have never ran in vans before and NEVER had an injury like this. being young at the age of 19, no one is invincible

    Also, if you can avoid it, try running on grass. Concrete is horrible for your joints (ankles and knees). take care of your bodies guys.

    do yourself a favor and get a pair of Mizuno running shoes. they're WAY better than Nikes. luckily you're only 19 and will probably be fine. i'm 30 and if i did that i would probably end up in the hospital.

    It was probably more to do with the way you run that injured your knee. A lot of people have run in canvas shoes, which are similar to these and not hurt themselves at all.
