It’s been eight years and it does get boring. I want a slower pace of life, somewhere less crowded, less hectic, with less buildings and more spaces! I miss Paradise Island.
I wonder for how long this empty space (above photo) near my house will remain empty …
If you have been redirected to this page from the Triathlon Family forum, this is the article that you are looking for. It was previously on my old blog (written in 2005) which isn’t accessible anymore. So I’m posting it again as some of you have been looking for it.
By the way, should any of you need running or spike shoes (Adiadas and Mizuno), email me. I can get you 30-40% discount off the retail price. As for Polar heart rate monitor watches, I can get you 20 % off the retail price.
Overpronator = Low arch = Flat feet
Underpronator = High Arch
Neutral Pronation = Normal Arch
Scanned pages from Runner Magazine:
This is a review of shoes from the Runners magazine (March 2005 issue) and I’ve scanned the pages concerned. Click on the thumbnail for an enlarged version. The article is a little outdated in terms of shoe models.
Flat feet and overpronate – look for a Motion-Control shoe. Motion control shoes prevent your foot from rolling in too far, have a straight shape that gives maximum support to your foot and are the most rigid, control-oriented running shoes.
High-arched feet and underpronate – look for a Cushioned shoe. Cushioned shoes allow your feet to roll inward (absorbing shock), have a curved shape to encourage foot motion and have the softest midsole with the least medial support.
Normal arches and pronate normally – look for a Stability shoe. Stability shoes offer a good blend of cushioning, medial support and durability. They often have a semi-curved shape and don’t control foot motion as strictly as motion-control shoes. Lightweight runners with normal arches may prefer neutral-cushioned shoes without any added support, or even a performance-training shoe that offers some support but less heft, for a faster feel.
I drafted this yesterday but I forgot to publish it.
Yesterday I baked some king prawns and served them with mashed potato (I bought those instant ones since months ago), broccoli (boiled them for 1 min), carrots (I baked them but I should have just boiled them instead as it would have been faster) and gherkins (the ones that I bought almost a month ago!) with a dap of homemade sauce. Awww the prawns were delicious and so were the rest.
My homemade dipping sauce consisted of sour cream + ketchup + tabasco …
For $18, we got 9 king prawns. I removed their shells before popping them into the oven. It’s much less messy to eat!
Dessert was frozen yogurt, my first time buying this brand. Actually I don’t see the need to buy frozen yogurts. We can always place the normal yogurt into the freezer, something that I do sometimes. Anyway, this one was not too bad. The husband doesn’t like yogurt, all it’s all mine!
Tonight I’m making creamed spinach! And pan fry some beef steaks. We also have some left over mashed potatoes.
PS: We watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallers on Saturday. It was nice but a little too long maybe? … some unnecessary parts could have been removed.
Hope you all had a good weekend!
I want to share with you all this Mauritian love song which you (especially my Mauritian friends) may have already heard. Well, I loved it from the moment I heard it! We played it during our grand march at our wedding last year. It was a song recommended by Angele when I was looking for Mauritian love songs.
