    how do you have your gait checked?

    You run on a treadmill in the shop and they film it then play it back in stop frame slowly so you can see if your feet roll in or whatever when you run.

    Then they can try different shoes on to counteract the rolling and go on the treadmill again until it's corrected.
    very clever stuff!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    hey peeps...

    hope everyone is doing okay today?

    Just had a chillin about day, took erin to swimming lessons and had a nice workout in the gym... didn't do much cardio, concentrated on weights and floor work....

    just catching up on washing now and housework...

    oh and the biggest loser episodes i've been missing... thanks sammy!!!

    just got ep 18 off mininova now, so that should take me up to 5pm!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
    (it's part of my charm!)
