Health Week: Part 2

March 31st, 2004 · No Comments

I visited my podiatrist-to-the-stars today (according to an article on the wall of the office, he has tended to Bird, Yaz, and Dewey, among other one-named members of the Boston sports firmament) to get fitted for orthotics. I don’t know where I was when my brother and my dad got them when I was in elementary school, but I sure need them, apparently. Hopefully, it’ll make my running more efficient and me less prone to injury. To take a mold of my feet, the doc had me step into some cool foam rectangles that felt like a combination of meringue and insulation, not that I’ve made a habit of stepping on either of those. After I get these done, I’ll be able to get some new running shoes and start ramping up the training.
