Put priorities in perspective to avoid temptation
A few weeks ago, I committed to two spring races, and boy, is it a good thing I did. You see, in my last column I wrote about how I was getting back on the wagon, so to speak, and returning to my disciplined routine. But I also acknowledged holiday temptations - and boy, did I undermine their power. I recently attended a lunchtime meeting where I was begged to eat. After hesitating briefly, I ...
Shoes can help defend against pain, complications
When a patient elects to surgically correct a bunion deformity, both the physician and patient invest so much time and energy. In addition to performing the bunion correction, the physician analyzes angular deformity and chooses from different surgical-procedure options to fit the patient and the patient's expectations.

Training over holidays can be struggle
It's taken a lot of goading to get me out of bed during the past couple weeks. And not because I'm too tired or disinterested in work. It's because I'm too cold. Because getting out of bed means relinquishing my comforter, putting my bare feet on my chilled wood floors and even colder bathroom tiles. It's because having wet hair in the winter time is asking for shivers, yet the time I spent chiding myself ...
