Necessity is the mother of invention...

Yes I spoke too soon, my new Mizunos began to rub my foot lump again after their second outing, but I think I've found the solution! It came to me in a dream believe it or not, I woke up with the weirdest idea...spray the inside of the shoe where it rubs with stretcher spray, prop up an egg cup (just the right height!), leave for two days between runs....no pain at all today! Clever huh! Fingers crossed...

Bizarre. But if it works ....

... and I always thought I had weird dreams!!!

[Maturelady Graduate]

Who cares how wierd the dream as long as it works. Fingers crossed.

Genius!! To be boring and factual, the power of sleep in problem solving is quite well documented. I took part in an experiment years ago in which you had to read a problem just before going to sleep and then see if you dreamed the answer overnight. I'm proud to say I did! The brain is a wonderful thing (although there could have been a contribution from the large glass of red I had before reading the puzzle!)

[AniaParky Graduate]

Good thinking. Funny what our brains get up to when we sleep.

[AncientMum Graduate]

HahahA Are you referring to the sleep problem solving or the large glass of red?

[AncientMum Graduate]

Oh come back Dozz, we miss you!! Large glasses of red are a thing of the past for me, at least for the moment. I'm unsteady enough on me crutches as it is without contributory negligence from a glass of Merlot!! xx

The brain is a marvelous piece of kit isn't it! Fingers crossed x

[ancientrunner Graduate]

Excellent!!

Maybe you could patent it.

[GettingFitter Graduate]

Love it Curly. Sleep really does let your subconscious come up with the answers. Good luck
