Fun day Saturday at Autumn to Ales 5k, 10k and half marathon. Thank you Mend Health Of Maine for all their hard work putting the event together. The day started out chilly but was the perfect day for the runners. Shout out to my son Nik for manning the booth with me and helping me set up the tent. I couldn't have done it by myself.

I've been having fun 3D printing these shoe lace locks. They keep your shoelaces in place while running or walking. Even with a double knot my flat shoelaces can come untied and be a tripping hazard.

👣 Heel pain that just won’t go away?

You’ve stretched. You’ve iced. You’ve even tried new shoes… but the pain is still there.

🔹 The advanced treatment options that actually help

If heel pain is keeping you from doing the things you love, this is a must-read.
