a year or two.

i ran last night for about 50 minutes and it didn't hurt that much. my ankle is a bit sore this morning, but i think that the foam roller and interspersed bike workouts are helping. i do think i also need a new pair of shoes. after analyzing my running gait (ie: watching my feet for a while) it seems i may supinate a little, staying mostly on the outside of my foot throughout the footstrike event. that would maybe explain my outer leg problems i've had since...oh...i can remember.

i thought i read somewhere that to counteract supination one would want a lighterweight training shoe...anyone know anything about that (pat)?

other than that, robin was at work late last night leaving me to my own devices. i cleaned up the house a little but did the inevitable...played college football on the ps2. what can i say, i'm a sucker for a route of northwestern.

still no word on grad school. i know i'm obsessing, it's only been a couple of days. still...i'm nervous.

Most people wear shoes that are too support/cushioned/inflexible for them. How many injuries did you have when we wore those Huaraches? The foot needs to move freely. Here are some suggestions:
