    New hardware

    So, I'm 6 hrs away from receiving a new pair of titanium knees. And how am I getting ready for this event? Well I just finished my morning 2 mile run, barefoot of course, in -6C.

    Guess what I found?

    I found a barefoot beer cart girl on the golf course today. I was going to marry here on the spot but I think my wife would have something to say about that.

    Bowling Shoes

    For those of us who bowl and now have a aversion to anything with heels, there is a simple solution. Just use your zero lift type shoes and pull a sock over the front part of your sliding foot leaving your heel exposed, and leave your push off foot as is. That is what I am using now on the...

    Question about running form

    When running in a straight line, should the front ball (big toe side) be in a line with the heel, or should the foot be straight ahead?

    First official 10k run

    Yup, my first 10k as a min shod runner. Ran the Airforce 10k here in Winnipeg today. My original thought that this would be my first barefoot 10k, but while I was out of town 1 1/2 weeks ago I ran up a hill that would never end. The way up was actually no problem, but the downhill killed my...

    Barefoot Golf

    Had my first round of the year on the weekend, barefoot of course. My score was about normal for me and I noticed no difference in ball striking. I was worried that while barefoot that I would be hitting fat, but that did not happen. Side effect, do not walk in trees looking for lost ball, them...
