The new year has started, are you off to a running start? If one of your resolutions included running, don't forget to take good care of your body or you'll face some injuries that will keep you from keeping your resolutions!

There are plenty of proactive steps you can take to injury-proof yourself. Focus on avoiding common injury-causing habits such as doing too much too soon, not wearing the right running shoes, not strength-training, and not taking rest days when you're feeling pain.

If you're experiencing any foot or ankle pain, make an appointment with Dr. Mark Mikhael and get your running resolution back on track!
