The other day I received the following email from Ron from Nebraska:
“Great website! There’s a ton of awesome information there. I’m a beginner (although fat and 42…) and have just started jog/walking, but managed 3 marathons last year and 3 this year plus 2 50k’s and a 6hr trail run. Ok, enough of the boring history. I was just wondering if the new edition is on schedule or if it will be possible to get it any earlier? So far Glide/Vasoline and good socks have served me well and no issues, but I’m going to try a 50 miler in the spring and want to be ready (along with helping pace a friend in a 100 mile attempt and making sure HIS feet are good). Thanks again for all the info on the page.”
Good question.
As I send this out I have the completed new edition, in paper form on my desk. My final job is to go through it page-by-page to check for any needed last minute corrections, and to create the new index. That’s 361 pages to review. My deadline is to have this back to the publisher by December 19th. It will go to press shortly after that. My understanding is that the delivery date is early February.
True to form, Amazon is already taking advance orders – and has it marked down by 33%! If you want to order it now for yourself or as a gift for a friend, here is my Amazon affiliate link:
You’ll notice this new edition has a new photo on the cover. I love this action shot, taken by Dan Campbell at one of the Primal Quest Adventure Races. It shows a true to life patch job – during a race.
Each new edition of Fixing Your Feet has gotten better and better. This 5th edition is the best yet. Am I biased. Sure. But I can honestly say that my goal has always been to help every athlete with their foot care problems. I believe I can do this by making sure FYF is accurate and up to date. And as always, I welcome and value your feedback.
