i don't have any benefits, but i just got some custom orthodics from a "community health center" (chc) for $200 and requested to go on a payment plan. you have to be a client of a chc first though.

unfortunately, they don't fit in my cycling shoes, so i've been forgetting to wear them. they do fit perfectly in my hiking boots... if i ever decide to do that thing called walking.

on a related note, my knee - and my wrist too, for that matter - have been bothering me again lately. i've tried using a brace/tensor bandage on my knee while riding, but the chafing factor makes it worse. suggestions? dan, i'm looking your direction!



ah but it is 9 degrees and rising, and i have the day off...
