thatcrazyrunning kid replied: "I would definitely go to a specialty running store. A Snails Pace is a great one and has locations in Brea, Laguna, Pasadena, and Fountain Valley."

Thoms M replied: "I don't know in Los Angeles; But, I know one online that provide many shoes varieties in affordable price at---Outdoor-Shoes.html . I purchased my sports shoes from this site. Its very comfortable. I definitely recommend this Shoe. I love that I can use it with my hiking boots & runners."

where can i get good running shoes? hello. i love to run, especially outdoors, but i have heard that having the right running shoes is extremely important in order to prevent long-term injury. does anyone know where i can good running shoes. i live in los angeles. also, my health teacher said that running on concrete is the worst thing i can do. she says i should run on grass, but i just love putting on my shoes, my ipod and going out for a run and not having to look for grass. can anyone help me? thank you.

madeline c replied: "i suggest big 5 sporting goods or chicks since they are having major sales right now"

JT replied: "First off with all due respect your health teacher is inexperienced to running. Running on the concrete is not the worst thing you can do, it's good for you. Running on grass sucks. There are random mud puddles, it's hard to get going fast because it's so thick, and it will wear you out fast. On the other hand if you go from running from grass to concrete you will find it much easier, but also harder on your knees. You should start training on either cement or trails. Trails are the best of all(just make sure you don't get lost). Just go on a good trail, they're the best paths of all. If you are in high school I recommend joining the Cross Country or Track team, especially if you are near Loyola they are defending state champs. Also people tell you that you will need good shows so you won't screw yourself up blah blah blah. I don't believe in this, I just buy any shoes that are the cheapest and I've never had an injury(running for about a year now). I think (especially if you are in high school on CC or track) that you need two pairs of running shoes, 1 pair of training shoes(they should weight a pretty good amount) and a pair of race shoes that are very light(for races like 5k, 8k, etc.). If you are not into this kind of stuff and you just want to buy your damn shoes that are fitted for you you can go to a "Snail's Pace" stores. Good luck to you and your running career =)"

Blazenskyy.com replied: "Try Your teacher is right however most road races are done on the cement roads so it's best to train all surfaces. Grass and dirt are ideal since you won't pound is much saving your back, knees and joints if your running 1000's of miles a year. Grass you can generally run around the football field or parks. Try running on hiking or XC trails. Good luck!"

The British Guy, Meh! replied: "The nikestore online they selling amazing running shoes try it. "

J M replied: "You can go to maps.google.com and search for "Los Angeles running stores" and it should show you everything in your area. You could also go to the California board at forums.runnersworld.com and ask what people there would recommend in your area. There are some RoadRunner Sports stores in the L.A. area, and they're known for doing a good job with assessing your pronation, arch type, etc. (roadrunnersports.com), but almost any running specialty store should be able to help you. You mainly want to avoid the big chain stores like Big 5 or Sports Authority for getting fitted since they're not running specialists. Concrete is usually the hardest possible surface you can run on, and most would recommend at least trying to find a paved road somewhere (which is exactly what you'll be on anyway if you ever do road racing). Others believe the body more-or-less does just fine adapting to concrete over time, especially if you're wearing acceptably cushioned shoes. If you ever get lower leg aches and pains, however, you might want to get off the concrete, since some attribute stress fractures and other injuries to it. It can be a balancing act between the risks of concrete and the risks of cars, etc. on a road somewhere, and/or the difficulty finding good stretches of cut grass. If you ever do speed work, you may at least want to find concrete alternatives for that."

I am a 27/m from L.A that rarelly wears shoes, am I the only one in Los Angeles that does that in public? I would like to know if there are more people in the Los Angeles area that like to go barefoot. I rarelly wear shoes when I run errands, and I would like to know if there are any other barefooters in Los Angeles or Orange County.

Long Distance running and knee injury? I just started the sport of long distance running about four months ago, but my knee has been starting to give me problems. I'm trying to train for the los angeles marathon. I recently got new shoes, but I don't think that's the problem because I feel the pain when I walk too. I feel some sort of popping in my left knee every time I take a step. And the pain is coming left of the kneecap. I really don't know what it could be. Do I need to go to the doctor?

sully225 replied: "I had a problem with my IT band last year while training (the IT band runs down the side of the leg from below the hip and to the knee, where it hurts). This was most likely because I was not training for my cross country season as much as I should have and then tried to start training much more intensely right before the season started. The pain for me was on the side of my right knee, but I there was no popping. One weird thing with this problem was that it would only hurt while running slowly and walking (race speed was not a problem). Overpronation or running down steep hills could have caused this as well. I iced, stretched and massaged the IT band until it felt better. I am not sure whether or not what you are feeling is the same thing but it is the closest injury that I can think of. Talking to a doctor is always a good option and is probably your best bet."

betty l replied: "you need to see your doctor, at lease call your doctor before u continue running,"

Jogger2425 replied: "It sounds like Iliotibial band (friction) syndrome. The illiotibial band (ITB) is a band of fascia running from the hip (illium) to the tibia. When your leg is straight, part of the band is in front of a bump on the femur called the lateral femoral epicondyle. When you flex your knee, this part of the band is in back of the epicondyle. The pain is felt when the band passes over this epicondyle. Stretch each ITB at least 10 minutes a day. Here is one stretch: Stand. Cross your right leg in front of your left. Put your right hand on the right side of the hip, and push the hip to the left. Bend to the right. This stretches the left ITB. Reverse left and right to stretch the right ITB. Another stretch is to sit, and try to pull the left knee to the right armpit. Then, try to pull the right knee to the left armpit. In addition to stretching, it might help if you rested your knees and applied ice. American runners are more likely to get this on the left knee. British runners are more likely to get it on the right. This is because running on a cambered surface contributes to the problem, and when we run along a road, we run facing traffic. Try running on a trail or bike path to either avoid camber, or run on a surface that is lower on the right instead of the left. Try to avoid hills, especially down hill, if possible. Prefer running on trails or tracks with "soft" surfaces. Try to avoid paved surfaces. It is possible that it is your shoes. Sometimes running injuries can progress to interfere with non-running activities. Try shoes with more cushioning. It is possible that you have a contributing bio-mechanical problem. If this is the case, you should see a orthopedic specialist for orthoses (orthotics). (A few years ago, I had knee pain (not ITBFS) both running and walking. I built up part of the insoles with mole foam in my running shoes, my street shoes, and my work shoes. It acted like an orthosis.)"

Poor old Senator Obama? Isn't it hilarious that the media is just now discussing the fact the Barack Obama might get "Bradleyed" by his fellow Democrats who say they'll vote for him but in reality probably wont? Isn't this inevitable when you run such a divisive candidate? For those who don't understand the Bradleyed reference. Tom Bradley (D) was one of the most popular and longest serving Mayors of Los Angeles who ran for Governor in the 80's. According to all the poll's he was a shoe in for the Office and yet he lost big time when the votes were counted. Seems many of the people who said they were going to vote for him when polled didn't actually do so at election time.

Christine replied: "i've said it all along. people run their mouths, but just wait until they are in the privacy of the voting booth."

Larry T replied: "Most of the Obama supporters aren't even registered or have transportation to get to the polling booth."

porthos44 replied: "Lets pray the same thing happens to the fake transparent obama."

Big Mouth replied: "I will vote for McCain, but I always tell the pollster that I want Obama."

Have a Nice Day! replied: "Oh boo hoo."

to whom it may concern replied: "I hope the same thing happens to obummer."

Bradley effect can make about a 4-6 point change in performance which is also around the margin of error and believe it or not, blacks polling accuracy is not much different than white polling accuracy. You can read about the bradley election here. He narrowly lost after narrowly leading. There is also a reverse bradley effect, for example deval patrick was polling about 7 points ahead of kerry healy 2 years ago. he won by over 20 percent."
