I saw the Pro Club podiatrist, Dr. Adad, today. I was having pains in my left foot and knee during training and physician suggested it at the 5 week checkpoint.

Turns out that not only am I extremely flat footed, but my left leg is a bit shorter than my right, which causes a number of problems. Dr. Adad put a lift in my left shoe and told me to buy some Superfeet (some may say I should have just listened to Amy, but then I may never have found out about my weird asymmetric legs). I trotted down to Foot Zone and got the inserts and will be using the new setup tomorrow in my Beasts. At first it all felt really odd, but I’m getting used to it.

Maybe next time I go to Disney World standing in line won’t be as excruciating an experience as the last 14 times.

I’ll probably also need some custom sandals for summer (Dr. Adad said he could hook me up), foot beds for my ski boots (and new ski boots), and some other custom inserts for my rollerblades.

Time to go ski boot shopping before the Utah 2005 trip in February!
