    Minimalist shoes for kids

    pediped makes some fairly minimal kids shoes. our kids have worn them (pedipeds) for years, though my daughter is growing out of their sizes and is at an age where the selection in general is pretty awful.

    Bedrock sandals

    had a pair from the kickstarter. loved them. eventually (after hundreds of miles running) the sole broke at the strap-hole and i replaced them with a new pair of earthquakes (this would be back in 2013?). haven't been much of a runner since 2012, but I wear them CONSTANTLY and they still...

    staying fit with quadriceps tendonitis

    Right now the doc says she thinks it's just the tendonitis and probably not a tear. The plan is to give it a few more weeks and if it doesn't improve I go in for an MRI to see if there is a tear.

    staying fit with quadriceps tendonitis

    Rough-housing with the kids and wanged my knee on a piece of furniture. Felt like when you hit your funny bone, except it was on my knee.

    staying fit with quadriceps tendonitis

    thanks for the ideas and the moral support scedastic! I tend to ignore upper body as well, so this gives me an opportunity to do more of that for a while. My doc did order some PT, but the place they sent the order was crazy expensive ($300 for eval, $117/15 minutes of therapy) so I told them...

    staying fit with quadriceps tendonitis

    thanks TJ! Pushing it is the last thing I want to do. according to the doc, even if it is "merely" tendonitis if I try TMTS I risk a tear, which requires surgery and is something I really don't want! ;) I'm really glad running didn't cause it, but at the same time I'm kicking myself (or would...

    staying fit with quadriceps tendonitis

    so yesterday my doc diagnosed me with quadriceps tendonitis (non-running-related injury, BTW), with a chance of a partial tear (if it's still a problem by mid-august -she said QT takes at least 6 weeks to clear up- it might be a tear and I go in for an MRI). After sitting on my butt for the...
