    Hip Pain

    Thanks for the feedback. It is much better now. However, because of that, I think that I popped the hell out of my knee. I don't think that I tore anything since my knee is still pretty solid, there was no swelling, and the pain was minimal (after the initial drop to the ground). Damn that...

    Spartan Race

    Yay! A Spartan Race on O'ahu. It's only a Sprint, but I will be out there doing it barefoot. I notice that their FAQs recommend shoes...haha. Well, I am pretty sure that I will do much better without all that extra weight once those puppies get wet and muddy. The only reason that I signed up was...

    Hip Pain

    So I was looking for a thread on this and didn't see one....sorry if I duplicated an existing thread. After looking on line, it appears that I have bursitis. So the pain is on the outside of my hip. I think that it was the result of having a weird gait during the marathon. My ankle on that...

    Marathon: alternatives to goo and sports drinks

    I can not run on most of those gel packs. Most of that goo is just too thick and too sweet. It ends up making my stomach upset. But what I did find (because I wanted something "natural" and I love honey) is Honey Stinger Energy packs. They tend to be less viscous and not overly sweet or bitter...

    The core conceptual instability of the 'core stability' concept.

    So here is my experience with this. I've run since I was in middle school. When I would start doing longer distance running (greater than 3 miles) I would get lower back pain. I always figured it was just part of running. I run very erect and upright so I figured that was just it. When I went...

    More randomness....

    I actually got bored one time and starting singing "1000 bottles of beer" in my head. I got lost somewhere around the 800's. LOL

    Why aren't you wearing shoes?

    I actually hate when I'm not doing so well (like at the North Shore Marathon) and people are passing me saying how "hard corps" I am for running barefoot. No, if I was hard corps I would still be two hours ahead of them and they never would've seen my feet. LOL. I did have one lady (non...

    Electrically Grounded

    I think that there is definitely something to be said for antioxidants. I never really did until I fractured my clavicle in a motorcycle accident. I had some white tea one night and realized I felt much better the next morning. Didn't have it the next night and felt like crap. I did it a few...

    Honolulu Marathon - Honolulu, HI

    Holy cow! I realized that I didn't post this back in...December! My bad. Well, for anyone thinking about it, this is a great marathon. The course is pretty barefoot friendly as long as you are used to running on hard surfaces. There are a few miles (maybe 6) that are a little rough, but overall...

    North Shore Marathon - Hale'iwa, HI

    So this was last week (4/14), but I am just finally getting around to writing my tale...haha. So here it goes: The race is on the North Shore of O'ahu. I live near Waikiki, so it is an hour drive (with no traffic). Race start is at 5 a.m. so if I wanted parking, I needed to leave by 3:15. I...

    Vibram FiveFingers EL-X review

    Let me start by saying that I am a total barefooter. Before trying these out, I hadn't run with something on my feet in who knows how long. I go to school barefoot. Hell, I go everywhere barefoot. So I really tried to give these a good long time to adjust to them. Also, I've owned several pairs...
