It is a mouthful, but my recent trip West helped me determine the title for this Blog entry. What began as a solo trip to attend an Ursa Educational Institute for Manual Therapy class in California (formerly Ursa Foundation in Edmonds, WA) quickly grew to include my wife, Ellen with a side trip to Reno to visit her friend Susie May Hahl & family. The trip to Reno took us far from the casinos and deep into the beauty of the surrounding area. We spent the days boating on Pyramid Lake, hiking the Flume Trail and paddle boarding on the crystal clear water of Lake Tahoe. While there was no lack of conversation, Susie and I spent a lot of time discussing a subject I have long been interested in due to my research and subsequent presentation in graduate school on the Biomechanics of Running and Walking. Susie works at the Reno Running Company (RRC) (in addition to her fulltime job as a 1st grade teacher) and her love of running shows. On Sunday, I joined the RRC’s Social Running Club morning run, toured the store, reviewed their Running Lab techniques and conferred with Susie and RRC’s owner & the 2014 USA Off-Road Triathlete of the Year; Matt Balzer about a quick (and critical) non-weight bearing method of assessing forefoot and rearfoot mechanics. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to observe how the professional RRC staff recommends footwear, which will help me better serve my patients. Thanks to Susie, Matt, Aimee, Sam, and Ivy for the hospitality! See them and their wonderful store at renorunningcompany.com
