[Rhapsodies Fire]

Thanks Pat. Oh yeah the puberty thing is full steam here, lol.


When do kids in ur area start? Here they start in mid August w/ 180 instructional days.

Oh....that explains it. Our kids start first week of Sept.

Good night, Reoville!

I would rather kids started in Sept. Summer isn't over in August in my opinion.

I agree...that must be weird.

I agree...that must be weird.

It is, they are done when it isn't quite warm enough to truly be summer and start when it is so dang hot they should still be in the pool all day!!

Good Morning Reo-family! Gonna get hot here fast today. Heat index's over 100 so gonna get out and get stuff done! For those of you in similar sitch's please bring a lot of water. I have 8 gallons of spring water with me. (some for drinking and some for wet rags) plus I have a new bottle of SaltStick capsules. Just be safe out there.

We're out of milk and bread if anyone goes past a Piggly Wiggly!

 

[Della Cirque]

I haven't seen a Piggly Wiggly in ages! Getting an early start before the heat sets in? We haven't passed 93 yet, and I am so very thankful. Especially since the power was out again yesterday.

Hi Ratman,

Not sure what the running store recommended, but have you looked into the barefoot/minimalist shoes already? I do alot of long distance trail running and switched over from traditional running shoes to minimal ones (little or no heel cushioning) a couple years ago. It is based on the theory that less cushioning is actually better for us and will train you to land on the mid forefront of your foot when walking or running. You redistribute your body weight more naturally than with a super cushioned shoe. Proponents believe that our bodies try to overcompensate for landing heel first, and that the extra cushioning distorts our natural foot landing and stride. You've probably seen the Vibram Five Fingers shoes everywhere. I like Merrell Pace Glove usually.


There's a better explanation of the theory about this online.
Much Ado About Minimalism | Running Times

It may not work for everyone, but it did help me eliminate some recurring running injuries (plantar fasciitis, knee strain, etc.) You may want to look into it before you get something with even more cushioning. I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but it seems to work for alot of people. There's a popular book by Christopher McDougal called Born to Run, that you can probably get from your local library that kind of explains in depth.

The other thing is to make sure you aren't overdoing it when you go out. Not easy to do.
If you need a shoe for standing for long periods of time, I like Dansko's line of clogs.

You have probably already done this, but I highly recommend seeing a podiatrist and investing in good quality orthotic inserts.

Good luck on the shoe hunt!

Great post which I totally agree with. Years ago I retrained my feet to work as they were designed to. I wear high end Teva Storm sandals for trails/camping/water. And I have several pairs of custom made shoes and riding boots made at our finest shoemakers which is about 1000 away from my front door now. Got right away from pointed cowboy boots as thats what an orthopedist said caused my foot pain to begin with. All my riding boots now are rounded. And I absolutely refuse to wear sneakers unless I'm cycling. Just another direction for you to look in. Good luck big guy! I'm off.

Oops if I had bothered to read on, I see that you're well informed already.
