It must be the shoes
Well Jordan was right. It must be the shoes. I decided to do a little research on the Saucony ProGrid Guide 2 I bought in September. Come to find out a lot of people have been experiencing the same problems I have. And when they switched back to their old running shoes the pains went away. Well I did the same thing. I went back to running in an old pair of Asic 2130's and guess what. The pain went away. So I did a little math you know 2 + 2 =3 and came to the conclusion that the shoes have been the problem the whole time. I have a new pair of Asic 2150's on order. They no longer make the 2130's. They were replaced by the 2140's and those were replaced by the new 2150's. So here's hoping all has been fixed. So for the time being I will only be doing light short runs till the new shoes come in. I have been in contact with Saucony because it looks as though the right shoe actually broke down with less than 100 miles on it. The inside material that covers the heel has started to rip and the heel support that is behind it looks to be way out of position compared to the left shoe. So now I have to see if Fleet Feet will do an exchange. If not I have to send them back to Saucony for replacement shoes. Well that's it. I hope everyone is happy and healthy.

I do hope that different shoes solve your problem. That would be great and I hope you like the 2150's you bought! Keep us posted.
I have Sauconys too... I wonder if that is what is causing me not to run anymore... seriously, when I run I get really tight feeling in my legs... hmmm.....
Amazing, ain't it...
My 2130's (working between two pairs) should take me through the half in January and then I might be in the 2150's right there with ya. I really like the Asics and they feel like they've got good longevity to 'em. American built shoe, right? or is that New Balance...
Anyhoo, glad you're figuring out the issues as I'm sure you've been chomping at the bit to get out there and train pain free!
