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

  14. A good pair of shoes are very important. My dad runs frequently and he always makes sure to use good shoes. Hope you get better soon!

    ReplyDelete
  15. ouch not good! I only have a cheap pair of running shoes but they are brilliant, running in pumps and trainers is a bad idea! hope you recover soon!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Same thing happened to me too once. Was running home and only had Vans... I thought "it'll be okay for today"... How wrong was I. I have Nike Lunarglides +2 now. Best running shoes ever.

  20. Unlucky, hope this doesn't put you off further training.

  21. feel better man, reading your blog is really inspirational.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh my god.. I just started jogging myself and I use very similar shoes!

    Ugh I will go out and pick up some good asics or something so that I do not hurt myself as well.

    Thsnk you very much for letting us know and I hope you recover soon so you can get bach out there :)

  23. Oh yeah, if you're wearing the wrong shoes, you could do some damage. You also have to always remember to warm up and cool down.

    ReplyDelete
  24. How stupid of you, always use running shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Love my vans....let's do a comparison on cool shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  26. i really like the way you move mmm

    ReplyDelete
  27. Brutal man, hope you recover soon. Running can be so hard on the joints, especially with the wrong footwear. Now you can get to losing weight (the real lazy way) haha

    ReplyDelete
  28. Sucks man... you'll get better.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ahwell, tough lesson learnt! Hope you get better soon

    ReplyDelete
  30. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hey man, I hope you're feeling better, take care!

    ReplyDelete
  32. or run correctly by landing on the balls of your feet

    ReplyDelete
  33. Get better soon, hopefully you could still write in your condition!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I knew shoes like that couldn't be good for you when doing physical activity. I told the emo guys in my gym class that,but they just laughed at me.

    ReplyDelete
  35. You're not losing weight "the lazy way". Running is hard work. Get well soon.

    ReplyDelete
  36. lol i feel handicapped sometimes xD

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ouch man hope your okay. Thanks for the top too!

    ReplyDelete
  38. One suggestion. Go to a specialty running store and get fitted for running shoes. They will cost a little more but they will be well worth it.

    ReplyDelete
  39. your really great mmmm

    ReplyDelete
  40. Nooooo never go out running wearing things like what are in the pic. You will end up in a bad way lol.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ooh that must hurt. I've had the same thing but I didn't forget, I'm just too cheap to buy proper running shoes!

    ReplyDelete
  42. That sucks man. I recommend Kobe VI's. They are the best shoes I have ever owned.

    ReplyDelete
  43. good luck man hope you get on your feet soon!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Rest up and you'll be fine in no time :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. You should definitely use running shoes when you run!

    ReplyDelete
  46. How are you feeling today?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Sucks man, I know how you feel. I am on the heavy side and the day after snowboarding feels like crap.

    ReplyDelete
  48. 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.

  49. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  50. It's a good idea to invest money in good athletic shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Running flat footed hurts...=[ ouch. Sorry man.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Hey man its been awhile, you doing any better?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Yeah, you always have to make sure you have on decent equipment, or kiss your body goodbye!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Injuries from working too hard are the worst.

    ReplyDelete
  55. im glad that my knee is fine now (after three months)

    ReplyDelete
  56. i like running in nike shocks, y'know the shoes that have springs in them.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I would never run more than a mile in anything other than running shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I wonder if I should invest in some nice running shoes then. +follow
