We've talked about how to pick out traditional running shoes.

This morning I went out running, thinking my biggest issue would be the sudden flare-up of my metatarsalgia and the light showers possibly turning into a downpour.

Ahh, what a beautiful day for a walk! I think I'll just put on my open-toed sandals and go for a stroll to enjoy this lovely spring day. Why look! A butterfly! Isn't it--OWWW!! OWWW!! OWWW!!
