I hate to admit that I kind of got caught up in other activities over the winter/spring and wasn't running. Figured I'd start back out with a small change to my form. Saw a video for barefoot running using small steps... almost like a shuffle. I knew the asphalt around my neighborhood tore my...
Having been on the Whole30 program to jumpstart the Primal Blueprint way of living, I sort of threw my lot in with coconuts. Coconut oils, concentrated cream of coconut, and coconut water became erstwhile friends. But where to get a supply of the water? As far as I knew, my supermarkets weren't...
Back again after a bit of an internet hiatus. I was spending way too much time on the internet, so I applied the old adage "everything in moderation, including moderation" and cut way back on my computer time. I am still doing really well on my Whole30 program. Started the last week of December...
Got my mega shipment from Tropical Traditions. Got a quart of Coconut Cream Concentrate, some Virgin Coconut Oil, and a gallon of the expeller pressed stuff for cooking. I'm almost through the small jar of oil I got from the store! It's only been a week or less. :shock:
That CCC stuff is really...
Just a few words. I am still going strong on my paleo diet. Still no slip ups, not that I was expecting to since I have fairly strong will power and lots of experience with ignoring such things. Not that I haven't had any. In truth I just dealt with one for some hot cereal this morning. Rather...
I decided earlier this week to do it. I went primal. I was going through the posts by people here in the forum and came across references to primal blueprint. Funny how I have never heard of that before since it is exactly the sort of thing that would have me reading for hours on end. I am still...
A little rant tonight. Everyone at work seems to love looking to see if I wear my VFF KSOs everyday. I am asked about them almost daily. Today one of the department supervisors was wondering what her employees were geeking out about. I am a courier for my company and part of my delivery duties...
No resting today. Gray skies, drizzle falling since morning, rain soaked ground, and late fall-like temperatures today. I hit the sidewalks again today for a jog around the block to test my feet. I cheated a bit and warmed up indoors, but I wanted to be sure to be nice and loose. I felt good...
In a previous post I brought up some feeling inbetween my second and third toes I thought could be nerve related. Starting to believe I may have caused some compression damage to the nerve and it's mimicking the symptoms of a neuroma. While the feeling has greatly subsided, I can feel slight...
Was going through the site today to look at all those posts buried by newer posts. I came along one post in the health and injury section that resulted in a lightbulb moment. It must have been on page 7 I think, but the post was a blood blister from running on chipseal. I read the whole thing...
Back again. Figured I've had enough time to recover and set out once more to conquer week one day two. I made sure to have some fuel once I got home from work, and hydrate. Destressed from work while I gave myself some time to digest my food. About an hour and a half later I got off my duff...
Suffering from some stiff calf muscles today, so no running while my body recovers. Going back to work has left me a bit tired so I took a quick nap. Woke up to a strange feeling though. At first it seemed I must have slept wrong cause I couldn't feel part of my heel. After getting up and...
First day back to work after a longvacay. Got home and had plans for a movie date with the wife, so decided to see if I could cram in my second day of the program before I had to shower and head out. I knew I wasn't exactly brimming with energy, but got interested in trying to do the run on...
Finally got down to it, and rather than wait for my new tech gear (bought on clearance online for a fraction of the price, ka-ching!) I just threw on a pair of shorts and an old t-shirt and headed outdoors to do my day one. Decided to do my warm-up walk by doing an inspection of my planned...
