More Gnu Shoes

J has been officially diagnosed with arthritis in her hips. We saw this coming, with the symptomatic pain being present for some time now, but her recent physical, complete with x-rays, confirmed it. You always hear about how relevant your family medical history is; well, her mom is the only person I know who's had not one, not two, but three hip replacements (the third one being due to one of the first two wearing out), and survived a femur fracture sustained in a fall.

Consequently, J decided since she's on her feet all day at work, she wants to get in better shoes. Ones that will put her in better knee/hip/spine alignment. Tuesday involved a trip to--you guessed it--Easy Runner, and we now have yet another pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6s in our home. She also tried on several pairs of Asics, but liked the Brooks better. Maybe we can start getting a bulk discount.
