i have two questions: how can you tell when you need a new pair of running shoes? and does anyone have any recommendations for a specific pair of asics that they like? please, someone enlighten me.
i headed off to class today for seven hours. it would have been a drag but the professor is totally on the cutting edge of addiction treatment (he uses emdr for addictions- that's wild!). i'll leave you with a myth and a fact:
common myth: marijuana isn't bad for my brain like cocaine or meth or _____. WRONG! do not be fooled. just check out the brain imaging from dr. amen... especially important to note is that marijuana affects and disables the part of the brain that motivates one to get help-- no other drug does that. think about that for a second.
interesting research: if a person with an addiction goes into a thirty day treatment facility, they have an eighty percent chance of relapse. six months, fifty percent. one year, thirty percent. clearly, addiction is not something to mess around with. it certainly cannot be cured over a month.
YAY LIFE LONG LEARNING!

i can help you with the running shoes; custom assistance at a store in walnut creek. love the information you learned on addiction; referred several kids to dr. amen. food and drugs are similar sites in the brain for addiction, no wonder so tough to control.

i agree with amy. go to a custom running store. it's so important to have the right shoes for your body or you will injure yourself. it's probably time for a new pair so go get 'em! so proud of you for training!!
