Re: New shoes & Shin Spints

Ok. I do believe you are using older model sauconays. Where did you purchase the Oasis? This are quite heavy clunky ones, but they do have lots of cushioning. Want a neutral cushioning shoe that is a bit lighter? Try the Freedom ISO. A little more stability? Try the Hurricanes. Whatever you do visit...

Re: Ottawa treatment for crackly knees?

Yep, Consensus is correct. I'm a PT and have had many clients with creepy knees. When I hear it, I ask if there is any pain. If none, we continue.

Re: Where are people buying discount shoes these days?

Try 33-off.com. Tons of asiics there. Sometimes there is additional coupon code too. It's Canadian with free shipping over $100 so you might get a couple of pair at a good price.

No, sadly. My streak ends at 8. I was contemplating a last minute entry, I then got scheduled to work so there goes that idea.

Re: Ed Whitlock

When I go to run loops of the nearby cemetery, I tell my husband that I'm 'going to get my Ed Whitlock on'. He knows where I'll be. :)

Loops will probably happen this weekend.

Snow surprisingly light here today! It was snowing early today though,so I took it to the treadmill for 10K We've been dog sitting my sister's dog for while she is away for March break. I love this dog! Bailey and she are barely tolerating each other though. :( :( At least least they don't hate other!

I just got mine and have been using it over the past few days. Generally I love it! I found it really accurate for the outdoor activities, but I have to figure out how to adjust the stride length to make it more accurate for the treadmill (I have a short stride so it thinks I'm going further than I ...
