OUCH. (Warning: DIsgusting Post ahead)
This weekend, I logged 35 miles in training. That's 18 miles on Saturday (on Charlotte' "booty loop", a 3 mile section of hills and expensive houses in the Myers Park area), 16 miles on Sunday, and 1 mile in the neighborhood taking down all of the "Missing Cat" signs. YES - that mile counts.
I'm worried about the 3-day because those 35 miles took ( Read more... )

Typically, for running, athletes will buy shoes a little too big knowing that while running their feet will swell (thus making the shoes too small). I'm not sure where you got your shoes (or how much time is left before the 3-day), but you might want to visit a running store in your area for some advice. They're usually very smart people.
Also, you've been walking a lot. I know that running shoes are given a clean bill of health up to about 300 miles of use, but after that they're pretty worthless (despite how nice they still might look - they just get worn down). Again, someone who actually knows what they're talking about might be able to help you more in this arena. And I'm sure Dana will weigh in at some point as well.
Copy this link for a nice local google search:

(but again, I'd wait for D to weigh in before actually doing anything I recommend).
