Have you been fitted for correct shoes? If not I highly recommend going to a shop where they specialize in running shoes, if you can get to one. I have a tendency to pronate and was fitted with shoes that had pretty solid stabilizers built in. I also found out I was buying half a size too small. Made all the difference in the world in terms of muscle/joint pain and fatigue.

I do too! I actually have to be sort of careful because sometimes stepping off of curbs and such my foot will occasionally turn on its side and cause me to stumble. Or to wipe out spectacularly, as happened a few weeks ago in front of the farmer's market. Very graceful.

If you are having leg pain I wouldn't put off getting properly fitted. When/if you go, they should take the time to watch how you run (the guys at Fleet Feet in Chicago make you go out on the sidwalk and run up and down for them) and be able to make a recommendation.

And hooray for the lost pound!

One pound is good! I've been running for nine weeks straight now and haven't lost anything. Correction: I've lost what were becoming love handles. Muscle weighs more than fat.

My feet point out, too, and I try to build those muscles, too. :) I want a resistance band that I can loop around my ankles to do exercises for correcting that. For now I just "concentrate".

Already losing weight- Good for you! It seems that you've really hit the ground running, pardon the pun.
I'm happy for you- you've started a new healthy lifestyle and are sticking to it.
I need to do the same. It's hard to get started, but I know I'll feel so much better once I get going.
