Vibram Five Fingers

Since Spencer and I have been running 3-4 times a week, Spencer did some research on the Vibram Five Finger shoes. I thought they were absolutely ridiculous when I first saw a pair of these things. They are growing on me though and maybe if I can afford my own pair, I'd look into getting some! The whole thing behind these shoes is to feel like you are running barefoot. Spencer loves his and says they are the most comfortable shoes he's ever owned!

After a run:

How it Works: The revolutionary design makes feet healthier by allowing them to move more naturally and freely. The typical human foot is an anatomical marvel of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised.

School

Spencer is going to school to get his Bachelor's degree in Economics and then later go back and finish his Master's in Business Management. I am so proud of him for going to school. It's not easy sometimes. Right now he is taking Summer classes and one of his classes is Business Calculus... yuck! After this semester he is transferring to the U of U. Somehow he manages to stay happy through it all and knows that there is light at the end of the tunnel... a career! I will be forever in-debted to him for going to school and being motivated to one day support a family through the means of having a career. I love him!

Spencer doing homework

The prophet and apostles have said that getting an education is important, and right now more than ever. So many people are going back to school because it is getting tougher and tougher to find a job in this economy and with an education, you will be more qualified. If you have the opportunity, I would recommend taking it seriously because you never know what can happen. Maybe someday I will go back for myself.
