Amen!!! I borrowed the audio book from the library and I'm halfway
through it so far. Great story!

I went for a nice hike today and practiced walking with a more flat
footed gait and my new New Balance mt1010 trail runners (NB
sponsorship offers will be considered, send them to me at this email
address immediately! ;-), and I am sold. My feet feel great! No more
high arch support and heavily padded shoes for me. I have always had
suppination problems from a leg length discrepancy, I am anxious to
see if that is reduced or goes away.

Now to just lose 60 pounds so my ankles will feel as good as my feet!
The rest of me is ready to do it again tomorrow!!
