Firm Foundations

Marilu has mentioned this more than once in her on-line chats and classes.  Make sure you have top quality tires, sneakers and mattresses.  There are plenty of places where you can cheap out without affecting your health and safety but these three areas are NOT those places. 

At the change of seasons it's a good time to take stock of these three foundation items. 

~Take your car in and have the tires checked.  At the very least you may need to have them rotated or get a front end alignment. 

~ A running store can give you a good fit and determine if your current footwear is still okay and if it's the best fit for you.

~And mattresses?  Well when AREN'T they on sale?  But you don't have to run right out and spend the big bucks.  You can get more life out of your  current mattress by turning it over and rotating it once a month.
