kns57 - 2010-08-10 12:32 PM What's for lunch (besides any bones)?

I just had left over pasta from last night's dinner. Penne with broccoli, asparagus, a little garlic and red pepper, plus some feta. Yum. I have more and am happy to share.

I had the most spectacular lunch - chicken/veggies/roast beef rollups/blueberry cornbread

Delicious

Then a nectarine and a peach but the peach was bruised from my commute - booooooo!

I'm mourning over my sad little ham sandwich. That all sounds sooooo good!

kcarroll - 2010-08-10 12:19 PM Bill, couldn't resist earlier re five fingers. I have given some thought to the vibrams. Unfortunately, I'm too far into marathon training to try those for long runs. I am thinking about giving them a try next spring. Nervous though. I'm more or less keeping the plantar fasciitis under control with orthotics, never going barefoot etc.

Kim - that was all I was talking about - I didn't mean the shoes one bit - just so you know!

You could use flats for a while also to help the transition - but I would not do that in the middle of your program - wait till you rock the MCM then switch around during recovery!

Bill, you are The Most. The man who sets himself up deliberately for the entertainment of the ensuing carnage!

No, I'm not changing to flats or vibrams this year. Just need to try a few new shoes on. The problem is it isn't an issue until I get to 10+ miles. Doubt they'll let me test drive shoes for that many miles.

I had the same issue with bike shoes. I just got some fancy Specialized S-Works shoes that are awesome. I think Andy wears them too.

If you order shoes from roadrunnersports.com you have, I believe, 60 days to test the shoes and if you don't like them you can send them back. If you are a member you can return them for free. If you are not a member I think there is a small fee to return them. It may be an option for you to try out long runs with shoes.

You may also just lace them like Kendra suggested. You may find that no shoe is comfortable at the longer distances.

Mention it to them and they might let you buy a pair with the promise of an exchange if it happens again!

Worth a try. I buy almost all my gear (clothing the exception as the selections aren't as good) from the LRS and LBS. I like supporting local businesses.

Heh, I NEVER doubted it.

Good info, Ann. I'll have to give them a peek. There was an article in Active.com in the last week or so about tying shoes for different foot problems. It was really good.
