for my achilles. These superfluous attempts at eliminating pain only created more problems. Could these very things - cushioned‚ bulky shoes - designed to maximize running performance be hampering our running and causing excessive injuries?

The Running Moon “Mom‚ it’s doing it again!” I yelled from the backseat of my stepfather’s Nissan Xterra. No matter how fast my mother drove‚ the moon always remained caught up to us‚ despite its differing shapes.
