Happy feet

[wshaffer]

So, tonight I went up to the UCSF RunSafe clinic for a running evaluation. This involved a strength and flexibility assessment by a physical therapist, an evaluation of my feet and shoes by a podiatrist, a chat with a nutritionist, and an analysis of video of my running gait while running on a treadmill.

I'll probably do a longer post once they've sent me the full report on their analysis. I was, however, absurdly pleased to be informed by a podiatrist that I have perfect feet for running. Because, really, I've never had a perfect anything for anything, athletics-wise.

Also, my gluteus maximus is apparently "legit".

Thank heavens. I have no idea where one would go to adjust the licensing on one's gluteus maximus to legitimate it.

Apparently, you'd have no idea how many distance runners are operating unlicensed butts.

I'm not completely in the clear here - my gluteus *medius* needs considerable work. But my maximus is up to code.
