Check it out!

I am so excited! Brian is mentioned by name in an 8 page article this month in Runners World!! Woo Hoo! Look in the August 2010 issue under the article Desperate Measures on page 96. Anything throughout the article about gait retraining is Brian's disertation research work and ironically enough this same part of his disertation came to press this month in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (here's the link to the online version http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2010/06/27/bjsm.2009.069112.short?q=w_bjsm_ahead_tab ). So, you can compare the lay-man's version to the scientific biomechanics version all at the same time - fun for hours, I'm sure. But seriously - I am so stinkin' proud of Brian. I know first hand how many hours he put into finding people for this study - let alone the gazillions of hours it took to collect their data, process the data and write it all up. It really is pretty neat stuff, if I do say so myself. The article in Runners World shows his old lab in Delaware and Dr. Davis was his advisor for his Ph.D. He now has his own lab here in Kentucky that looks very similar to the pictures shown in their article. Here is his UK web page for those of you who haven't seen it yet: http://www.mc.uky.edu/pt/runninginjurylab/. Way to go Brian! Gait retraining rocks :)

Science Center & Niagara Falls

Image
Brian took this picture of a bridge competition that was going on at the conference center.  That is a lot of bridge players! While Brian was conferencing, we ventured out in our car to the Science Center across town.  It was awesome!  We loved the interactive displays and things to do.  It was way, way fun. This frog is the cutest, saddest, frog I've ever seen.  He was so adorable. Haley loves turtles! We tried some Pizza Pizza for lunch in the cafeteria.  Not bad! This wooden slide was awesome in their little forest.  Grant went flying down it like a rocket.  Once he didn't get his footing right to stop and he kept on flying.  It was sooo funny.  He had a little bum rash from the slide, but was okay. What a good sister...picking out the mulch from Grant's shorts after he went flying off the slide.  hahaha. After finding so many good deals at the outdoorsy place the night before, I decided we ne...

Aquarium & CN Tower

Image
The next morning, we walked over to the Aquarium and beat the crowds.  It was a really cool aquarium - better than we expected.   Our favorite part was the tube that you could walk through.  This big sea creature was just sitting on the top of the tube.  It was so cool to check him out and to see all the sharks everywhere.  You really get a good look at all their crazy shark teeth when you are below them!   After lunch, we headed for an afternoon swim at the hotel pool. Then we headed over to St. Lawrence Market and met Brian for dinner.  I got fish and chips, Grant got homemade ravioli, Haley got chinese and Brian got perogies.  Everyone was happy!  It was fun to walk around the market. Next, we headed over the CN tower as a family.  It's a very high way up! The glass floor was super crazy to walk on.  It made me so nervous!  Man, that is a long way down! ...

Dearborn, Michigan

Image
On our way to another conference in Toronto, we stopped over outside of Detroit in Dearborn, Michigan - where the Ford headquarters are.  We stayed at the historic Dearborn Inn, which Henry Ford designed, and is now managed by Marriott, and went to the Henry Ford Museum.   There are tons of Ford factories, offices, test tracks and museums all over...but man, do they need to pave their roads!  They were full of potholes everywhere.  Poor Detroit/Dearborn.  Hopefully they can pave someday soon.   Brian and I had been to the museum before, but it has been over 20 years for me...and they had changed quite a bit.  It was fun to walk around and look at all of the neat cars, trains, airplanes and other equipment.    This is the original oscar myer hotdog mobile.   This is the actual bus - not a replica - of the bus in Montgomery Alabama where Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus.  Grant is sitting in her ...
