Have you tried orthotics?  A.R.T. for your feet?  These could solve your problems.

I do use a spenco insole on the right (worst, at the moment) side only. I see a good sports massage therapist every 2 or 3 weeks but am not thinking about ART at this time. For one thing, I don't know of any ART practitioners in my city. But more importantly, I'm not sure the foot thing isn't a symptom of tightness/imbalance somewhere else. I am retired, and mooch off my husband; I don't want to throw $$$ at a hobby until I do my own research :-)

This is not a hobby. This is a way of life. A religion. An activity at the center of your existence providing all the meaning in your life.

used to be. Now playing viola is my religion and way of life and super-expensive hobby. Running is something I will do until I can't do it anymore, and I want to put off that day as long as possible, but there are no other goals associated with it anymore.

fuck that noise, when running is no longer viable there'll be cycling, swimming, whatever. Even if for some reason none of that is possible I'd be just fine, possibly crankier.

"Yesterday I had a follow-up with my doctor to discuss my MRI and it turns out I have osteonecrosis and collapsing of the 4th metacarpal head. The end of the bone has been taking a beating and there isn’t enough blood flow in the area for the healing process to keep up with the micro-trauma of running."
