I've got a peg leg at the end of my stumper, shake your ...

I wear heel inserts in one of my shoes. They have been an enormous help in preventing back pain that I used to get when I would run. I'm lucky I figured this out---extremely lucky. How many people can have their back pain cured by purchasing some $8 item? Not too many. I always know when they are getting worn out because, right on cue, my back starts hurting. Well I have felt pretty strong about my training this year and I wanted to avoid the loss of any running days from back pain. So I ordered some new heel inserts. I ran 3 miles today and *voila* all systems functioned smoothly. Gotta love that. Then I did a bunch of leg weights. It was a robust early start to the day, but sometimes that's how you gotta play these things.
