joe used to run a lot. he loved it. it was a great way to exercise, and he found it relaxing. then, he got tendonitis and pronations, and he hasn’t been able to run for four years. we tried having special pads for his shoes made, but they didn’t work.

last week, joe went to his podiatrist who told him about a shoe store here in town that basically makes prescription shoes. joe went in, told them what shoe the doctor said he needed, and tried it on. he said it fit like a glove. i guess the shoes fit differently than shoes you would buy at regular shoe stores and give your foot more protection. now, he can run again! he ran the entire track at the park last night without his leg hurting at all. it makes me so happy to know that he can do something that he loves again.
