heh, i got the reverse approach on the 'fat chick' routine. i let him know flat out that i was sure that losing 50 lbs would help out, but that i wanted this problem solved so that i could run enough to lose that weight. he also said that all runners, even those without predisposition have a tendency to get this. btw, another cause is age, and losing weight doesn't help much with that :p!

a question on the tape. are these just flat pieces of tape on the bottom? i would have imagined some kind of winding around the ankle.
