Day 3

Best news today: Sri doing 2.5 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill. Knapp tacked on 2.75 miles.

Explaining to Sri to not have your hands in the knuckle sandwich position stuck with her; Definitely happy she felt like she (paraphrasing) was one of those professional runners on TV.

amassing 23.95 miles in 3 days for the team.

What do flat footed (aka overpronator) runners wear? I didn't know but after perusing Runner's World magazines and the internet, now I know that if it says motion control it's for bigger runners and stability shoes are for flat footed runners.

Brooks Addiction 8 and Asics Gel Foundation are the best pairs I found for 70 bucks. Why is cost a consideration? We're college students.


So how do you determine if you have high arches, flat feet, or normal arches? Easiest test is to get a brown paper bag and lay it on the floor. Dip your feet in water, place your feet on the bag.

If you can see most of your foot print on the bag, you have flat feet.

As for normal, you'll see the typical foot print.

And for high arches? Almost looks like you have two sections to your foot.
