My pronation is wrong, but I forgot how. (eta: From Juliana's post, it sounds like I'm over pronated.)
I wish I could jog. I wonder if I can see a specialist who could ascertain if my old knee and ankle injuries would allow jogging. (For the knee injury I was told that jogging was something I couldn't do, but that was 14 years ago. When I broke my ankle I was told that I "probably" couldn't jog anymore.)
Juliana, how are you liking your new digs? There's great running down the peninsula, lots of good trails and some minor hillwork. Excellent marathon training.
Ah hah! OK, that makes sense then. I knew the mechanics of it, but not the words for it. Because I definitely roll my feet out (supinate, apparently...).

I loved the kid's reaction.. "you mean, I might be... a boy?" it was like the sun rose.
They told me something strange like I had flexible feet. Which is mostly that I pronate and supinate and just stand like crap. I have no idea what he meant, but the shoes rock.
Why aren't I hungry yet?

Because we forgot to tempt you with the list from LA Time on where to get goat?
Maybe I could reduce foot/ankle/knee problems if I moved to Mars.

I'm enjoying the hell out of them, although I'm starting to feel a bit old (so many college kids here on the weekend, it's not even funny). The apartment is set up well, and I adore this neighborhood. I think I'll try to stay around here as long as I can take it. And, like I said, I've not been running, but I've sure as heck been walking, and there's some amazing views.
I don't think I'll run a marathon again, but I'll probably run Bay To Breakers. That sounds like a good time.
(Also, thanks for asking! I'll probably be making the drive to LA sometime before May, so maybe we'll get to run together?)

Either that or the stupid migraine. My face feels like it's going to fucking fall off, and I'm out of triptans for the day. Took flexeril yesterday, don't want to take it again. This is when headaches are depressing because they're headaches.
I can't watch TV while I'm working out. It just completely distracts me and I don't work as hard.
I have a pair of Nike running shoes that I like a lot, thus far. Though, even on Day One of my return to fitness kick, I realized that I'm probably going to have to figure out what to do about the one leg longer issue. One side was definitely taking more of a pounding than the other.
