			<description><![CDATA[ Ok, okay ... I confess. I&#39;m a graphic designer and as such have allowed work to get the better of me for far too long. I now try to make myself take time
out during the day to go for a walk. Now, remember, I&#39;m 60 going 500, and all this ambulatory stuff is taking some time to get used to again. But I have
noticed that it doesn&#39;t take long for my ankles and insteps to start burning and tightening up. I&#39;m guessing that I should be doing some serious
warming up exercises before... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ So, when I was almost done with my 8 mile trail walk this morning, I got a very strange pain (I&#39;m not sure that the word pain accurately describes what
this feels like).  My hands were swollen and I was wearing rings that usually fit.  I wasn&#39;t carrying anything in my hands, just wearing a backpack that
was not very heavy at that point because I had drank most of the fluid I brought with me by then.

<br>
Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the outer part of my left arm, closer to... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Forum,
<br>
<br>
New here and wished my first post was really encouraging, but I&#39;m struggling.  I started &#39;power-walking&#39; about a week ago and am suffering badly
with shin splints (pain up and down the front of both shins).  It&#39;s making me cut my walks short and I am unable to attain my weight-loss training zone. 
Reading Lucy Knight&#39;s book &#39;Walking for Weight Loss&#39; she suggests resting and not doing the activity for 2/3 days, but as I am starting out I am... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ so today during my 6 mile walk, I noticed that my right ankle was a little sore but nothing really really serious, it did not slow me down at all. 
&quot;creaky&quot; would be how I describe it..I even managed to knock 3 minutes off my time for this route (I keep track of all my times).

<br>
I get home, have a shower and I am in the kitchen standing barefoot and my wife asks me if I am aware I have a big red lump on my back right heel..

			<description><![CDATA[ I am a few weeks into a marathon training program. This week my long walk was 14 miles and I was amazed how well it went. The only real complaint/ache or pain
is my upper back after my training walks. I am trying to build my speed from my normal 3 miles per hour. I am able to do a 15 minute mile pace for four miles
and I did the 14 miles in a little under 16 1/2 minute mile pace. I can&#39;t figure out what is causing this ache - posture? arm movement? Any ideas? I have
been a walker and... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ This is not something I would normally do... but I hear a few of you talking about it.  Why do you do it?  Is is for a specific injury, or just a recovery tool
you use?
<br>
<br>
I have always used ice on localized pain or injuries, but I wondered if there are any true benefits to actually immersing your lower body in cold water.

			<description><![CDATA[ Patty, this is a question for you.  I know that special shorts exist for bicycle riding.  I find it difficult to stay on the bicycle for longer than 5 miles
without stopping and getting off due to pain/numbness.  When I purchased my bike, I replaced the seat with one that had more padding because I don&#39;t have
any padding of my own.  My sit bones are really close to the surface.  (can&#39;t sit on a hard seat chair for very long)  I don&#39;t want to start spending a
lot of money on... ]]></description>

I Googled &quot;ache top of foot&quot; and lo and behold, a stretching solution from a Kelli??? in relation to a similar problem Anitawalk had after a 20 mile

			<description><![CDATA[ Just curious if anyone else has experienced or knows anyone that has experienced ... being freezing cold the whole afternoon after the event?
<br>
<br>
Sunday after the race I was freezing. Seems after each of the three half marathons I&#39;ve done, I can not warm up. I couldn&#39;t find enough blankets or
enough clothes. The last thing I wanted to do was put ice on my knees. Anyone ever heard of such a thing?  Advice, suggestions for the next race?

<br>
<br>
My big toe has been bothering me for at least 3 months.  I&#39;ve been able to walk on it no problem, it was just tender to the touch on top/side, but not when
I pressed on the bottom.  But this weekend it has decided to become red and swollen looking on the side and it hurts to walk.  I have a doctor&#39;s
appointment on Friday, but it&#39;s probably with either a PA or whatever... ]]></description>

goes there, so I thought I would try it.  I got a serious full body massage with reflexology.  They only charge $50.  When the masseuse was really working on
my shoulder blades... he didn&#39;t speak english, his boss came over to me and asked me if I was ok.  I probably should have been yelling form the pain.  They

<br>
<br>
I was just thinking about pain I was having in my outside ankle region while walking rural roads. It wouldn&#39;t happen until about 30 minutes into my walk
and always on the foot that was, let&#39;s say, towards the gravel side of the road. Well, there is a bit of a slope for run off and this put stress on that
foot that was facing the gravel. I spoke with a runner friend of mine and she suggested an interesting stretching exercise she does.

She forms the shape... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Everyone,
<br>
 I began walking again about a month ago and due to previous foot injury and shin splints I stretch about 5 min. every morning before my walk. I walk about a
mile and jog about 1/2 a mile. The problem I am having about half way through the walk is the sides of my legs burning. Not shins, not calves but in between
both on the side of my legs. I have done every stretch I know to do trying to keep this pain away. If I stop it goes away but I don&#39;t want to stop. I do
walk... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
I am new at all this so be gentle with me!  I will shortly begin training for a marathon in London but have been told I have pompholyx which is a form of eczma
on my feet.  I have three patches of it, one on each of my soles and one just below my left ankle.  Apparently there is no cure but it&#39;s made worse by
sweating.  It gets sore and itchy when I&#39;ve been for a walk and my feet have got hot and sweaty.

Has anyone ever heard of this, got any ideas on socks,... ]]></description>

Anyway, I've been getting a red rash on my torso, just along my bra line and waist - just in the front, not on my back.  I've pretty much convinced myself it's due to the moisture and heat.<br>

I am not new to exercise, I used to ride my bike or rollerblade, but I was invited to walk a marathon in late October, so I have started walking. I am experiencing headaches on my long distance days, 10+ miles (although I had one yesterday and I only walked 6 miles). I do not get the headache while walking, it comes an hour or two after I finish. I do suffer from migraines, but this is not a migraine, same... ]]></description>

I have been an avid walker for the past 10 years or more, and normally I walk 4 miles, 5-6 days per week in the mornings at a pace of 4mph or a little faster. Despite this I have gained weight over the past three years and I have added a 2-mile walk every evening, and am working towards walking 7 days per week. I really feel these additional miles are helping, I enjoy the additional walking, and I think it will... ]]></description>
