Hi Rob (wave)

rfrench is currently giving a seminar on flight planning. I hope it's going well. :-)

My orthotics are back!

I went in this morning to pick up my orthotics. My podiatrist had sent them back to the manufacturer to have metatarsal support pads built into them.

I almost panicked when I saw the new shape of the surface. There were two bumps on each insole, and they were HUGE! Fortunately, unlike the rest of the insole, the bumps themselves are squishy.

I suspect that either the placement is a little bit off on the left one or I don't have it quite right in my shoe. That foot is aching in the plantar arch. The right foot just aches like it usually does, which probably means the bumps haven't had much of an effect yet.

Once I have become acclimated to these things again I'll try running a mile or so.
