Jen --

Can you post a picture of what the bottom of his lawn mowing shoes look like?

I can e-mail them to you.  I took 2 pics with my phone but don't know how to post them here.

The file has to be small enough to post on BT, under 50k, then you click below "attach a file after posting".  Usually you can resize files, or if you send from an iphone you can tell how big to send it. 

Hope this helps.

I sent them to her.  They aren't really worn one one side or anything.  I should look at the bottom of the shoes he wears to work.  BTW, he's a total dirt ball.....there were clods of mud and grass on the bottom of the shoes.  I understand they're for mowing and lawn work, but at least shake them off a bit!!!!!

You can look at the wear patterns to get a good idea about pronation or supronation, heel striking, etc.  I'm an extreme supronator (which means I land to the outside of my foot and should be in neutral shoe).  My wear pattern shows more wear to the outside back and then a diagnol roll towards my big toe.  A pronator is going to show more to the inside.  Jen's husband's shoes are pretty even.  I'm not a big fan of corrective cast like shoes in general and I would suggest something like a Saucony Mirgage.  Its fairly neutral but has a little guidance if you slightly pronate and a little bit of cusioning, which makes it feel a little softer for a beginner runner.  Its a good place to start shoe wise.

Over the past few years, I've pushed myself into as neutral of a shoe as possible and am very happy with that.

Speaking of Augusta opens tomorrow I know it doesn't usually sell out right away but saving $25 is still saving $25. Perhaps I can use that savings somewhere else. So is that a price jump from last year?

Augusta is good for one thing -- golf in April.

May I ask why?

Hey Karen, It is good for spectators too right?

I was being snarky (although I do love the Masters and have been twice).  My ex-boyfriend of family was from Augusta so we spent a bit of time there.

Sounds great Karen! Good luck!!

Haha Kelly, you had me worried it was a bad race Yea I would love to go see the Master's, heck I would just like to play one hole on that course so I could say I did. I have friends in Athens (you can only imagine how crazy it is down there today) and I am hoping they can come as well. We may even stay with them, of course I have not checked how close that is.

So I had some suspect moles removed yesterday. Last one came back negative so I have a good feeling these will as well. Just precautionary with my families history. So far I have been blessed and not had any family history stuff creep up on me

That is good. My family will like that. It will be a boost to see them multiple times as well.

Good Luck with the Job! I hope it works out for you!

I went in to the lab this morning for cholesterol, metabolic testing, etc....basically a full blood panel (she wants to test thyroid, vit d, iron, calcium).  I waited forever, but I am happy it's done.  Ate breakfast before going on my run, and I really think it was a bad idea.  Struggled with GI stuff the entire time.  I also had a runny nose.  Never fun!  

I just have to add that I am NOT a fan of the juice cleanse.  My husband is an entirely different person right now, taking it out on everyone else.  Gross.  I will never participate in that (not that I feel I'd ever need to do one).
