    First solo run in 7 years

    Well today I ran alone for the first time in 7 years. My faithful running partner died last week from cancer. I know he's a dog, but he never complained about the weather, time and always wanted to go. It was different running without holding a leash in my left hand.

    The Primal Blueprint

    Has anyone read this book by Mark Sisson? What are your thoughts? He does promote barefootedness. I am incorporating his diet, and I must say I have much better control over my appetite.

    Dry, dead, cracking shin on your heels!

    Anyone have it? Not looking to prevent it, but get rid of it. It is on the outer edge of my heels, not the sole.

    Urban running

    After a year of running in town, as opposed to when we lived on a acreage, my biggest nemesis is glass! I run on paved bike trails, and I've had to remove shards 3 times this summer. It's what you can't see that gets me! Tiny shards, and they hurt like ***k! Very hard to remove especially when...

    Barkley's marathon!

    Hmmm, wonder if any barefooters attempt it! Pretty amazing race considering only 14 people have completed it since its inception in 1986! http://www.outsideonline.com/1924491/60-hours-hell-story-barkley-marathons

    Damn ice!!

    When running after a light skiff of snow fell. All good til about the last 1/2 mile when I hit a hidden patch of ice and did a flip worthy of a 10 from the Russian judge!! Amazingly it didn't hurt....til the next day. Big thing was that I somehow pulled a muscle in my calf. Haven't ran in 2...

    I purchased a pair of Earthquake 2.0 sandals. Not for running, just for occasional summer wear. Anyone have any experience with them? Good, bad? I will post some info when I get them.

    PO'ed

    Was doing negative calf raises yesterday, over did it with too much weight, and now my Achilles tendon is sore! Wanted to run last night, but decided not to risk it, so I drank too much rum instead! Now my head and Achilles hurt!

    Who likes it Hot?

    Any chili pepper lovers here? Like to sweat when you eat? Love hot sauces, but they have to taste good. Some of my faves are: Jolokia Ghost by Aubrey D, Scorned Woman, and Frank's Extra Hot, with a spoon full of Jolokia Ghost mixed in. My friend at work grows a myriad of hot peppers and I always...

    This is my third winter bare foot running, well I run bare foot in the summer, but my feet get cold very easily, winter barefootin' is out for me! For the last 2 winters, I have crammed my feet into a pair of Neo Trails. I say crammed because I bought the biggest size Vivo makes, and it fits...

    Barefoot running with a shoddy!

    Went on a couple of runs for the first time with a human partner. Ran with my BIL who has been shod running since 1972. Couldn't believe the difference in styles! Classic head chasing heel striker! He noted how relaxed I looked. Big thing was how loud his foot falls were. Glad I'm not "there"...
