They&#8217;re actually a year or so old, just new from my closet but my heel is wonky now. Not sure if the shoes aren&#8217;t right for my severe overpronation problem, if they&#8217;re just disintegrating from having been stored too long (shoes are like produce &#8212; they rot with time), or if I&#8217;m just a lumbering buffoon.<\/p>\n<p>I had a wellness appointment yesterday. I hate that damn scale &#8212; each time they flick the weight to a new notch or along the slide it sounds like a jail cell door slamming shut. Despite my best efforts recently I just can&#8217;t quite get the slide to be less. I&#8217;m a good 10-15 pounds over my aimed for weight&#8230; though I&#8217;d take 7-8 pounds. I don&#8217;t seem to be able to move the metal ca-chunk the direction I want. It&#8217;s far easier to make it go farther down the scale, indicating a heavier me.<\/p>\n<p>So last night was a bad, sleepless, binge night. As a result my late run this morning with the wonky heel was necessary, compulsory, and as of this writing, done.<\/p>\n<p>What tomorrow brings is anyone&#8217;s guess. But I&#8217;m gearing up for the final 7\/8 races of the year. The countdown is on. Maybe I can trim a few pounds before 2017 after all.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, look!
