shoes
My cousin Lisa wrote a informative blog (invitation only) about exercise, so I thought I would contribute. This weekend I bought some new exercise shoes because the tread on the old ones were gone. When I worked in physical therapy clinics my patients would ask me which shoes they should wear for exercise. To be honest, I don't know. My advise was always go to a shoe store that has a variety of brands and lots of them, try on every single shoe until you find one that fits and feels good. My personal favorite store is Ossine Shoes @ 7576 Redwood Road West Jordan, UT 84084. The reason I don't know is because everyone's feet are different. My feet are narrow so I fit best in Nike's, but my Mom's side of the family has wide feet (I think my Grandpa had to buy extra wide shoes). Last year when I lived in California I was at the Nike Outlet and tried on a bunch of new shoes and found that my feet love the Air Pegasus Bowerman Series shoe. It's like walking on clouds. This was the best shoe I had ever worn! Since companies don't always make the same shoe for years in a row I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get it again or even get the Air Pegasus when I move to England. I was at the Salt Lake Community College this week for the Girls State Basketball tournament, so I stopped by Ossine and they had the Air Pegasus and they were on sale! Yippee!!! Nike makes weird color combo shoes, so I got over being matching with any outfit a while ago.

six degrees
On Saturday I was having my first manicure. It was my friend Melanie's birthday and she wanted to have us all go do mani/pedis to celebrate. While I was sitting there under the lamp waiting for them to dry the lady across from me started chatting to me.
She showed off her nails because they had USA with red, white, and blue on them because her daughter is on the US freestyle aerial ski team and they are heading to Vancouver this weekend.
I had heard that a couple of the women from the US Ski team had posed for Sports Illustrated for their swimsuit issue. One of them is Lacy Schnoor. So I looked her up on the US Ski team website. It says she is from Draper, UT and her Mom is a nurse. Bingo, this is the same lady from the nail salon.
On the US Ski team bio it states, "A recreational skier at 6, the ex-gymnast was recruited to freestyle when an Olympic out-reach program came to her middle school before the 2002 Winter Games. "They asked me to go to an aerials camp and I just kept going ... I like the rush when you go off the jumps," she explained." Right after I graduated with my Bachelor's degree I worked for the Salt Lake Olympic Committee in Youth Programs and my program was called Short Sport. We were the only department getting any positive press back then after the scandal. Basically there were five of us travelling around Utah going to all the jr high and middle schools (there were some schools that had K-12 in the small towns so we did all the grades) demonstrating short versions of winter sports. One of the sports was freestyle aerial ski jumping. Lacy must have been one of the kids that came through our program. Honestly we did hundreds of kids a day in the Salt Lake Valley, so I wouldn't be able to pick her out from all the other kids that I worked with 10 years ago. I will say my favorite school we went to was Fillmore Jr High. They were some really fun kids.
I guess you can do the six degrees of separation with anyone.

Biggest Loser
We love watching Biggest Loser! I have to give a big high five to the hair, make up, and wardrobe people who make Ali look so good!!! Every episode I tell my Mom she has great hair. This last episode she had a cute necklace, which I will have to copy. Plus I have been a fan of Days of Our Lives since I was 10 years old, so I was glad Sammy Brady is the host of Biggest Loser.
