Chiyankee: BEWARE TOMORROW’S weather. Potential tornadoes and golf ball to tennis ball sized hail! chiyankee Thanks inger, but too late. Some small tornadoes came through the area tonight but nothing in my neighborhood. We did get some hail about an hour ago, pretty annoying if you have a car parked in your driveway and not the garage. Glad you are safe Chi! |

Here, it can occur but is not generally large and damaging… nor frequent…We were fortunate. The large hailstones mostly tended to hit 5 miles or more north of us… |

This weather is crazy, yesterday it was in the 60's and I was running outside with shorts on. Today it's in the 20's.  |

Such a helpless feeling watching your car get blasted by hail with nowhere to move it... |

Thanks Kay. This weather is crazy, yesterday it was in the 60's and I was running outside with shorts on. Today it's in the 20's. It’s in the high fifties here. I’m an idiot though I went from no activity from the cold to walking 5 miles in one day and hurt my foot. I hope it’s not a stress fracture. Walking around with a slight limp now. Just a reminder to ramp up slowly and take it easy I guess. 🤦🏾♂️ |

One suggestion I would make is to always check your shoes and make sure they're not worn out. Nothing will cause sore feet quicker than running/walking in worn out sneakers. |

My walking shoes are definitely worn out. I’ve put over 500 miles on them at the very least. i keep buying new ones but there’s always something wrong with them (too small or hurts my heel) and have to return them returning to the old ones. Do you have a pair of walking shoes you could recommend? I usually try and walk 3.5 to 5 miles a day if that helps and it’s strictly for walking I don’t run. Much appreciated! |

I run/walk in Brooks Adrenalines and they work for me. Brooks Ghosts are also very popular for walkers and people that are their feet a lot for their jobs. Saucony and New Balance also make popular walking shoes. There are running stores where you can go, and they will watch you run/walk on a treadmill that's in their store. They then try to match you up to the correct sneaker to fit your stride and pronation. |

My wife has trouble with her feet and struggles to find comfortable walking shoes. She recently tried Hokas and loves them.

I will try and order those Brooks Adrenalines and if those don’t work for me maybe i will go into a store for a custom fit. Thank you for your recommendation. It’s much appreciated. |

I tried them a couple years ago at my running store, and they just didn't feel right. That's the problem, we're all different and what works for me might not work for you. And there's so many brands of shoes to choose from. |

Not that Chi needs any seconding, but I would also vouch for Brooks. I do a lot of walking -- my running days sadly ended maybe eight years ago -- and I kept getting blisters until I switched to Brooks, which I have been using for several years now with no issues. Perhaps like you I would occasionally try to squeeze a few extra miles out of them, but it’s always counterproductive. For me in-person fittings at a trusted store always works best, but we all have our own ways. Socks too -- I've been using Feetures and for me they work very well. They're designed for serious wear and I put them to the test. Good luck and glad you're getting out there. Brisk walking is a wonderful stress reduction program. |

I will definitely try Brooks shoes. And I’ll look into Feetures socks as well. Walking has been a life changer for me. I always walk listening to music too. |

Definitely agree it's a life-changer Kaybli. I practically go crazy if I can't get my walks in. We all have our own comfort zones; for me I leave the electronics at home, in part because I'm a birder and I like to hear who's out there, but it seems most people I see have the earbuds in. People do recognize the regular hikers. I know all the guys on the county road crews and highway department scuttlebutt. I've had people come up to me in the grocery store and say "you're that guy who's always walking." Funny stuff. |
