Stepping Out with Pearl Izumi!

Pearl Izumi is the first name in athletic shoes. Here's their SyncroGuide III running shoe, my gear of choice! Ankle Socks by Pearl Izumi. Remember: The New York Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is October 16 & 17, 2010 so get in it to end it!


Newly designed for 2010 the syncroGuide III offers the most stable platform imaginable for proper balance and stride. Many sprains and tendon tears are caused by rolling over your ankle. The syncroGuide III offers excellent motion control, arch support and cushioning your muscles and joints will thank you for! It has just enough padding in the all right places while holding you up with incredible structure for a comfortable ride. Available from Pearl Izumi Online

One way to prepare for your morning walk or run is by way of preemptive strike against muscle tiredness and tendon pain. I've found that by using Topricin Foot Therapy Creme before I head out, I am kink free for my walk and able to fully stretch when I take a break.
This is a Homeopathic formula which is recommended by doctors and chiropractors for arch pain, ankle swelling and sports injuries. It does work extremely well and Topricin has no unpleasant odor or greasy feel. It quickly absorbs completely into the skin so you can be on your way. Available at Whole Foods and Wegman's. This is not an area to pinch pennies! Get the best running shoes and the best foot therapy creme for a synergistic energizer for your daily walk or jog!

Kickin' Back!

Summer is the perfect time to get some exercise but you've got to get up early to beat the heat! How else do I get around the sweltering temperatures? The right footwear is a big start. Starting with my socks, can you believe these are made of WOOL? No I haven't lost my mind. Wool socks in the heat of summer are a good idea when they are made by SmartWool.

I am wearing the NEW MODras mini lifestyle socks. They are so thin and light with absolutely NO itchy wool feel. They are virtually seamless and feel great during and after your walk or run. They have a supportive arch brace and a non-binding roll top that your ankles will love. 75% wool, 22% Nylon & 3% elastic but they are 100% comfortable! Visit SmartWool online.
