Everything is Connected to Everything Else

This is known as the first rule of ecosystem ecology.  In terms of my foot, I went to see Jimbo today and he placed the blame for my foot ailment not only the perodeal tendons but on the cuboid:  "Your cuboid is locked down."  The cuboid is truly a hunk of bone.  The value-added was that he got me on the treadmill to study my running form.  My cadence is perfect at 180/minute, but . . . I've got to work on keeping my arms low, driving through, and using my arms to leverage my hips muscles that will result in a heel kick.   And I'm one of the few people whom he tells to wear "less of a shoe."  That took me straight to Athens Running Company where I got a new pair of Brooks's Pure brands.
