Jan 20 - I had a gait analysis done yesterday - extremely interesting.  You walk across a pad numerous times and the machine measures your pressure on certain parts of your foot and how quickly you come through.
My arches have flattened which means my gait line does not loop outward between my heel and midfoot but stays in a straight line (damn it - Nike - no more arch cookies).  My stride also stops early and doesn't fully extend
off my big toe.    2.5 miles
