Yeah, I went to get my feet checked out, and it turned out that I had the wrong type of shoes.
c172g - what you said was pretty much right on.. I have high arches in my feet, and since my shoes weren't built for that type of foot, I ran (haha) into knee problems. The shoes did not have enough arch support and they caused my feet to roll inwards, making my knees and tendons hurt.
The shoes were fine for the first two or so weeks that I had them, but then I began to feel the effects. I got some stiffer, thicker soled shoes that are more suited to my type of foot and constant running. I have been taking it easy from running and have only done a mile or so runs about every other day, but my knees are still a little sore from before. Today I ran 1.5 miles across a bridge and back, and my knees didn't hurt at all while running, but when I stopped running, then they began to hurt like before. I'm not quite sure why that happened..
I have to go to a weekend prep thing April 1-3, and I am kinda nervous about being the slow guy. I just don't want to be the first guy to fall out on a squad run. I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world though. More pushups and crunches maybe, but I can do a shitload of those.
Anyways, thanks for the advice everyone.
