But, I do have a laptop, so you might have to do some additional work to situation a keyboard.<br /><br />I use actual paper files & for the most part haven't had many problems handling those on my actual desk surface at normal height (I have my printer box with computer stand kind of angled off to the side so that the middle of my desk is clear), though occasionally I do sit down for a few minutes if standing doesn't really work for that. I think this is probably okay. :)Angela Knottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596658700954456205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-65792534947098563732013-07-26T15:11:05.752-07:002013-07-26T15:11:05.752-07:00Oh, and my PT basically said that I need to base m...Oh, and my PT basically said that I need to base my ability to run on how I feel during and afterwards. I hate that kind of guidance, but in the end that is how it needs to be done. I've only done some run/walking so far - mixed results. Some pain on the inside of my left knee where it used to hurt - after icing the pain goes down a lot. Today I feel zero pain simply walking around - I did 40 min run 2.5 min/walk 2 min yesterday (appox 5.5 mph speed while running). Somewhat encouraging. I relish the day that I can actually run and have zero pain during and after.

So I had to return them. But I loved those shoes - so light, and they felt perfect. Suffice to say my favorite shoe that I've ever tried on. Maybe I'll give the Kinvara 4 a whirl. <br /><br />For your stand up desk, what kind of boxes have you tried to use to set it up? I've pondered using printer paper boxes, and then using painters tape to tape down the boxes to the desk, so that the boxes don't move around. Any ideas on this? I have a desktop, and only problem with my job is that at my job I have to handle actual paper files while I work, so I almost need to raise my entire workspace with boxes too. I'll try to figure something out - since I see how much standing can help your body over time.

I've had my old pair of 3's for about ten months, but I've only been running in them maybe once a week on average, so they don't have tons and tons of miles on them yet. It'll be interesting to see how long they last given that the soles are mostly the softer rubber.<br /><br />I haven't heard of the Viratta - will have to look into it!Angela Knottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596658700954456205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-45187911457726190572013-07-25T12:39:42.887-07:002013-07-25T12:39:42.887-07:00Hi Jeano!

In the summer they show movies there on the weekend, & we get symphony maybe 3-4 times a year.<br /><br />Most of the time I feel like I can compare shoes reasonably well by memory, but these two were so similar I felt like that was the only way I'd be able to pick up on the differences. It's definitely been kind of a neat experiment!Angela Knottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596658700954456205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-35337097194350551672013-07-25T10:43:25.607-07:002013-07-25T10:43:25.607-07:00Thanks! :)Thanks! :)Angela Knottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596658700954456205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-24330756950937349682013-07-25T10:43:16.925-07:002013-07-25T10:43:16.925-07:00I don't know exactly where you are in Spokane,...I don't know exactly where you are in Spokane, but you should check out Revel 77 if it's near you!

I just wished that they were placed as conveniently as Sbux. <br />No Saucony connection for me, but if you hear anything keep us posted.

I have had friends who ran in the 3's and mentioned that they tend to wear out rather quickly. I have also ran in the Saucony Viratta, which I really like. Very light! I ran the Umstead 100 miler in the Viratta the whole way and did not have a mark on my feet after! Right now I am rotating between the 4's and a pair of Mizuno Wave Sayonara for my road runs, so I will see what the wear time is on the 4's as compared to the 3's. Love the blog! Keep up the good work! genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06022742510144238669noreply@blogger.com
