Two Thumbs Up

I have done two four-mile runs in my shoes and so far so good.

Monday I ran with my orthotics under Sir Newton and Wednesday I ran with them on top, which is how I should be doing it, but of course the orthotics rubbed a blister on my arch on Wednesday. I did both runs without socks and aside from the orthotic/arch issue on Wednesday I am still very impressed. I have not run on the park trail yet though - I'd probably need socks for that as the toe box is mesh and little rocks and dirt can easily get in there.

So far I do not have any residual soreness in my achilles, feet, or calves which is sometimes common during the breakin period, or could also indicate the shoes are not for me.

(See, Sir Isaac Newton is looking at me every time I put my shoes on)

(but actually he really isn't because my orthotics cover him up)

Woohooo! Welcome to the Newton family.. haha. idk. :-) Glad they're working out!

I'd guess that you not having residual soreness means that your body is already used to running on the fore/mid foot. That's awesome! Until I got used to it it was a bit sore. Haha. But I'd definitely say that they've improved my form... now to work on my speed! haha. :-)

Happy training!

Keep me posted on how you like the Newtons. The break-in sounds kind of like how you adjust to new orthotics. I've been tempted to try them, but scared at the same time.

You will LOVE these shoes. I am getting ready to buy my second pair, except I will be getting the tennis ball yellow ones.

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....

Into the Donor Egg World We Go

As I sit down to write this, I'm shocked to see February 27, 2022 was the last post I've written about our IVF journey.  In some ways, it seems like so much has happened over the last year, and on the other hand it seems like nothing has happened at all because we are back to square one. I'll provide a quick summary of the last year, but please understand this won't even begin to describe the true roller coaster ride we have been on.  I actually don't think it is even appropriate to call it a roller coaster because that indicates there are some ups.  Our ride has been more like a train ride through hell. After our failed transfer in February, we decided to take a break in March to let my body rest a bit before transferring our next embryo.  During that time, a friend reached out and told me about her friend that hadn't had success here but did at CCRM in Colorado.  At the time it almost felt like a divine intervention, but I now know better.  We spent seven...
