Greg stopped by the house in the AM and asked me to point to where my foot pain was. I pointed to the front ball of my foot around the back of the second and third toes. His quick read was, “congratulations, you have Morton’s Neuroma.”
So there is that. He set me up with a pair of Superfeet inserts and a met pad for the right foot. We will give this a shot for a few days to see how things go. In the afternoon, I jogged with those in my fattest and freshest Hokas to practice and then did another four on the treadmill. I am still aware of the neuroma but it was a tad bit more bearable. We’ll see how this goes.
In the evening I headed over to InMotion Running (Greg’s shop) to catch the Billy Yang movie about Dave Mackey, called “Leadman.” The movie is good (also very good is the video that Bill Hanson did on Dave shortly after his amputation). Even better than the movie though is getting together to see everyone for a few minutes. I noted in this shot that you had at least three guys who had lost some part of their body to amputation. Even in that category I am the least accomplished of these guys.
Anyone recognize the guy who apparently is not happy with that last bite of pizza?
One of the best ambassador’s of the Boulder mountain all things scene – Bill Wright.
This is mostly a shot to make JZ jealous because he was home doing calculus homework.

I serendipitously saw the "Leadman" trailer just last week. Looking forward to the whole thing.
