As you know I was having quiet a bit of pain and burning sensations in the arch of my right foot. I think I finally found the solution.

About two weeks ago, I purchased these at the Super Runners store. I’ve been wearing them while doing anything but running and my arch pain has been reduced to almost nothing. Right now, I’m not wearing them while running because I have normal arches and shouldn’t need the support.

These Powerstep Pinnacle  inserts claim to eliminate pain or strain in your heel, arch, ankles, knees and lower back. I can’t validate all the claims, but I can say that they are eliminating my arch pain.
While I credit this shoe inserts for pain relief, I have also been doing more downdogs. This has been the best way for me to stretch my calves, achilles and plantar fascia.

Anyone have any recommendations for a new point and shoot camera? My camera, simply isn’t working. At some point I am going to dive into buying a SLR, but not right now.
