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".

I paid $200, although their website is now quoting the price of an assessment at $400. So either I got a deal (I think they do run periodic "specials"), or they've jacked up the price since I registered in August. (I developed trochanteric bursitis a week before my originally scheduled appointment, and ended up having to postpone it for quite a while.)
