Good info. The Mythbusters did an episode about fuel saving driving techniques and they proved most of those suggestions.
... But I was hoping to read about all the benefits of driving barefoot. ;)
Yesterday I planned to do a little drinking then a little hiking. Only made it as far as the drinking.
Today I got in a 2.5 mile hike (with a bit of running) at lunch time.
4 mile bike ride with the kids today --
Which doesn't sound like much until you understand that my son is still learning to ride his first bike with gears and he's still about 1/2" too short for it. That means that I have to stop at every hill and get off my bike to help him get restarted...
6 mile group hike in the rain today.
Temps were in the mid to high 40s (°F) which is right at my limit for BF hiking in wet conditions. I was fine for most of the first mile until we had to wade through a long section where the trail was mostly submerged. At that point I opted to slip on my...
Hi everyone! Wow, I've been away a long time. I've been active and barefoot, but I've not been running much over the last couple of years which is the reason for my absence. I recently signed up to do a charity event called the Ultimate Hike in late June -- a 28.3 mile one-day hike raising...
Awww. So nice to be missed. :happy: I miss you all, too. I'm doing well and so is the family (thanks for asking, Longboard).
I almost never run anymore so I haven't been around here much. I'm doing a lot more hiking these days and, as noted above, I'm considering training for an ultra...
I'm considering signing up to do the Ultimate Hike this summer. If I do, I'll be hiking barefoot (as always).
Ultimate Hike is a fundraiser event for CureSearch to benefit childrens' cancer research. The event (there are 4 this year) is a 20-30 mile one-day hike. In my case, if I decide to...
Thanks for the welcome back, TJ. I saw the article linked on Longboard's FB page. He posted it right around the same time I found the gym. Made me think of all of you here when my trainer showed up in his VFFs today. :)
Peace,
Karen
I recently started powerlifting and decided I wanted to work with a personal trainer to help me with proper lifting form. I looked around and found a local gym focused on free weights with great rates. When I contacted the gym to ask about training I inquired regarding their shoe policy...
I'm sticking with wine this evening. Working on a bottle of Barbera d'Alba. Thanks for encouraging me to stop by tonight, Longboard. I'm still around. LB, you'll enjoy this story... The manager at a local restaurant that I frequent told me he had a customer complain to him last week about...
I've tried both vegetarian and vegan, though I found I did much better with a pesco-vegetarian variation. If you want to go this route with a focus on reducing processed foods and junk foods I recommend the writings of Dr. Andrew Weil. http://www.drweil.com/ His book, 8 Weeks To Optimum...
