First, loosely tape a clear table cloth or plastic tarp to the door frame. Using painter’s tape will help protect surfaces. Start by taping along the bottom and work your way up – remember to leave room for ballons! When you are almost to the top- add the balloons. Secure top with tape. Fun idea via pinterest.

Running Shoe Lacing Tips

Check out the complete article HERE. 

PROBLEM: High Instep
Near the toe of the shoe, start lacing with the cross-lacing technique. Once you get to the middle of the shoe, thread the laces up the sides of the eye row, leaving room. Continue cross-lacing at the top of the shoe and tie at the top as usual. This will give your foot room in the midfoot area and help keep the shoe from feeling to tight across the arch of the foot.

 

 

 

 

 

PROBLEM: Heel Slipping
There are two good ways of keeping a shoe from slipping on the heel. The first way is to put a loop lacing lock at the top of the shoe (shown in the beginning of the post) and tie shoe as usual. Another way is to use a modified loop lacing lock, called a “runner’s tie.” To accomplish the runner’s tie, cross-lace the shoe until the second to last top hole and then lace up each side of the eye row. Take each loose lace end and thread it back under the side lace of the opposite side. Tie the shoe at the top, as usual.
