I never have been fit for running shoes.  I did my own wet footprint, but I will got to Pacers and have a look. I love running for not only the weightloss/maintaince but also the mental aspects of it. I cant really describe it beyond this.  I have a *primal scream* (i.e. anxiety/anger/aggression) in me.  It normally shrieks at glass breaking volumes. Running reduces "the scream" to a mere "whimpering in the corner."  Mediation helps but not as well as a good long run.

In summary, when I cant run, the urge to put my fist through a wall is elevated...
