So tax payers pay to have that park and then pay again to use it. How much do they charge. I can't believe people let the government get away with that.

Your joints are probably quite pleased that you lost 200 lbs.  Must feel like they're carrying no weight now.

You lost more than 200 lbs?  Get out of here.  You should send your pics to one of those weight loss companies to use.  I'll bet they'll pay you well.

two things I would do (and have done, as I had similar problems):

1) as other posters already pointed out: Find out what kind of running shoes you need. It is not so much about the brand (Adidas, Nike, Asics, Brooks, etc) but which model is best for you in each brand, as they all have shoes for different types. Good sports shops or specialist running or triathlon shops can help you identify which ones are good for you.

2) Have somebody look at your running technique. You can either see a good physio (can be expensive, unless you can get referred by your Doctor and have your health insurance pay for it) or a good specialist running trainer/coach - those can be found (typically not expensive) where track and field athletes train.

Are you doing this on a treadmill?  Try running on a small incline (like maybe 3-5 degrees) and shortening your stride a little (although running uphill will do this automatically).
