Avoid Waste For A Sustainable Body This brief post is about two events related to sustainability, when it comes to the planet and our bodies. ONE, avoid wasting stuff: I went to take out the trash and recycling this morning. Glancing into the 'landfill bin,' I noticed that it was empty, after a whole week of living. Then I noticed that there was very little recycling, but I took that one down to the road. The ... Read more
Speedplay Hips For Better Foot Float A 'So-Called Plantar Fasciitis' Insight? Believe it or not, this crudely made, old video has had over 15,000 hits!

Easy Vegetable Gardening? Easy vegetable gardening! Oxymoron? It's all a matter of letting nature (or gravity) do the heavy lifting.Each time I have such a task, I run a mental benefit-risk assessment.Do it myself or go get assistance?It's easy to strain your back in the vegetable garden.

Only three stars for a positive review. Is that a mixed message? Fascinated me, anyway. It was the ... Read more
Nociceptive Foot Pain Mind Control Works You may be able to think your so-called plantar fasciitis away! Think of that!

Just imagine if I hadn't listened to my feet in 2010 If I'd gone to a doctor to solve my running foot pain! Instead of deciding to listen to my feet. And work it out for myself. Then I needed a doctor! Imaginary scenario concerning heading home from the doctor to be dead. Unless the doctor is an aortic surgeon in their spare time. Even then?? FitOldDog: Doc, I was in this Ironman race, and I was at ... Read more
