Metatarsal Bursitis and Orthotics

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

Last weekend, I wrote about my first six mile run. It went well, and I was feeling good after it. In fact, Ariele and I went up to the gym shortly after we finished the run, and I rode the stationary bike and did my weight lifting routine. Later in the ...
