There was a study about 20 years ago that showed that red light cameras actually caused more accidents. They're a giant money grab. Speed cameras seem just as bad. There's one around here that is on a 40 mile an hour curve coming off a freeway. Nobody slows to 40 by the time they hit that camera. They must send out a couple hundred tickets a day.
What’s this now?
Technically, no. You are required to pay it.
Feel like if you have like 500 posts here or something it should be turned off

). I usually grab a couple of shirts, maybe some shoes... stuff that I would typically pass on if I didn't have the "extra" money.
The #1 place in our county for accidents is a roundabout. I go out of my way to avoid it.

But they are lower spead so there are less injuries.
About a month ago the outer "balls" (huh huh) of my feet both started to hurt a little. Probably because of the shoes I was wearing, but maybe just 'cuz I'm getting old. These HOKAs will definitely help.
and re: wide shoes... yeah, they only come in one style/color per model. sucks when you see all the options and then click 'wide" and only get the one.
there's a sale on NY strips at the local Kroger? anyways.. what were we talking about?here i thought you mentioned us all because you thought we were the same user
You're not?
been running in Hoka Machs for a few years now. they are almost weirdly cushiony soft to the point of being awkward but i've come to love it for running.HOKA shoes - anyone have a pair?
I typically go on a little bit of a spending spree the first few months of the year since I'm usually flush with extra coin from a side job (
Well, I've seen a lot of folks wearing these shoes (a lot of 'em in airports) so I decided to grab a pair. I am in airports at least once a month AND I'm trying to "get healthier" so will be going on occasional walks around my neighborhood to lose some weight.
I ordered a pair in my size (10.5) but man they felt tight, especially in the toe area. Not length-wise, per se, but just cramped. Other than that, super comfy.
Turns out they have brick & mortar stores (there's one by me in a fancy mall) so I went in and tried on 11's... much better. Asked if they had "wides" in 11. Even better. Unfortunately they didn't have the color I wanted, but they swiftly processed the exchange and I'll have 'em in a few days.
If anyone walks a good bit for exercise or otherwise, I can't recommend these bad boys enough. They are incredibly comfortable. They'll set you back a good $150ish but totally worth it.
I lucked out and they had the wide versions in the one I wanted. Now, on the website I thought they were more grey than blue but upon arrival they're more steely blue than gray. Probably me being partially colorblind lol. No biggie.
I'll use them for walks and probably for travel too since I end up walking in terminals (usually have layover somewhere). And/or if my feet are hurting like they have been. :sad: Guess I should probably go to my doctor for yet another ailment.been running in Hoka Machs for a few years now. they are almost weirdly cushiony soft to the point of being awkward but i've come to love it for running.HOKA shoes - anyone have a pair?

wouldn't be caught dead walking around in them except for dog walks, though
I dunno, everyone I saw at the HOKA store today was younger than my old azz....
Tell me more about this Achilles tendonopathy. My heel suddenly starting hurting a few weeks ago. It's been slowly improving, but still hurts. It isn't bad enough to actually see my doctor about this, but in a phone call he mentioned plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, and bone spurs as potential causes. He basically told me to get over the counter orthotics and see what happens in a month or two.
I had permanently sprained ankles for 3 years in HS playing soccer all year.
I think I've been married the entire time I've been here.
I have bottom of heel pain too. Ice and crap doesn't do anything. Only these exercises (heel raises).
roverkid is finishing her junior year. has an internship with the international emmy awards. she's staying there for the summer and taking a class or two. grades are great and she will only need to go part time both semesters senior year to graduate. she loves NYC and doesn't ever want to leave. currently living in Hell's Kitchen, but we may try to find her another place when her lease is up in July.I think I've been married the entire time I've been here.
hey- how's fish Jr? is she graduating? staying in the city? it's very cool that she's persevered.
I’ve done PT for it as well. Google that also. Really simple stretches and exercises that are easy replicated on your own.I had permanently sprained ankles for 3 years in HS playing soccer all year.
when I did my triathlon training in my 30s, I over did it and the ankles and related tendons started failing (worn out tendons started pulling the bones in my feet apart from overuse).
during covid and the next couple years, I started running again... but again, over did it. twice. the first time was early on (and just before covid), and I got into regular PT which really helped. this time, it was clearly the achilles that were failing- tendonitis, tendonopathy... tbh, I can't recall the difference other than I was diagnosed with the latter the second time and told to shut down completely for 6 months. that was almost 3 years ago
the PT really worked. I tried to get back into it, but my insurance reared its ugly head and I gave up the fight.
but heel pain sounds more like plantar fasciitis or spurs, tbh.
I went and tried on Hokas and On Clouds. I prefer Asics Gel-Cumulous and Brooks Ghost, at least for my high arches and feet issues, which are much more comfortable than the other two brands.HOKA shoes - anyone have a pair?
