I remember hearing you're the tallest in the morning because throughout the day your spine "shrinks" up and laying down/ sleeping elongates it back to normal. If that's correct, I'm sure running speeds that up. Honestly, as a tall woman, I'm cool with losing a couple of inches!

My feet used to be super high arched - the foot didn't touch the ground on either side. Running led to signifiant collapse, and now I'm about 1/4 inch shorter (and a full size larger shoe).Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-20663662342175228822013-08-05T20:11:13.404-05:002013-08-05T20:11:13.404-05:00Dude, I hope not.
