I'm your parent's friend from Sierra Leone (now in MA) and have really enjoyed reading your blog. I told your mother that some day when you're ready to run the marathon, you'll have a place to stay. She told me that might be a while!
ReplyDeleteToday's topic PF is a subject that is near and dear to my heart -- or maybe I should say my foot. All the things you've mentioned help to lessen the pain, but NOTHING works as well as wearing clogs. I wear Sanita brand, but Dansko is also popular. Give 'em a try. I live in these clogs and haven't had a PF pain in years.
I'm glad you're enjoying the blog! I had actually never heard of clogs being a remedy before, but I will definitely check them out. I'll keep you updated!
