2006.Jan.10 Trim and rebalance hind. Wearing outer walls faster than inner walls.

2006.Jan.03 Trim front heels, hind frogs. Bars were touching ground in most cases. Trimmed bars just enough to be passive.

2005.Nov.12 Rolled all edges. Soles bearing weight now on front.

2005.Nov.06 Trimmed Hind: Mostly rolled the edges more.

Finally feeling better, bars are growing out. Have lowered heels a little, increased the rocking of toes, and trimmed frog sides.
Happy to see no white line separation in the toes. Only the sides yet to grow out.

2005.Aug.17
This last trim was not good for Glamour. She was very ouchy, so I may now conclude I should not remove her bars this much.
