Hopefully an answer to my running problems...

This morning I went to see Dr. Powell (a long-time friend of ours who is also a D.C.).  After looking at my foot and running gait...he came to the conclusion that I not only have a high arch, but I am a severe pronator that could be what is causing all my problems.  The over-the-counter insole was a good step in the right direction, but that my foot pronates so dramatically that I need orthodics.   Let's pray that this works so that I can get out on the road and start running again, soon!

I am so glad he was able to pinpoint what the trouble is. Sounds like it won't be too difficult of a fix. Yeah!

I had orthodics too...they cost about $300 and they were great until I accidentally threw them away in a pair of old shoes...ouch!

Ouch is right! You will have to get yourself a new insole, so that we can run sometime after baby boy #2 comes! I'm so excited to see if this is it!
