    BFR article in local paper (Nebraska-Omaha)

    http://www.omaha.com/article/20120716/LIVEWELL02/707169999/1161#shoeless-and-running-free After a month and a half, it finally came out. Overall I think both the video reporter and the journalist doing the written article were genuinely interested in BFR, and wanted to represent it well...

    Running in the rain

    I don't race, but I do love running in the rain. Actually one of the most fun runs I've had to date was down south on the Gulf during the summer. I was on my way out of work when the skies opened up and sheets of rain started to fall. You could see the "waves" of rain moving across the...

    NEBRASKA/Iowa/Missouri runners! Please read!

    Thought I'd post a quick follow-up: This run was GREAT! The reporter interviewed clmcap21 and me on Wednesday, so this morning's media day turned into a photo shoot instead. After a quick meet and greet with Everglade (thanks for coming out! :) ), we spent a few minutes working with the...

    [Jun 2, 2012] Nebraska Group Run (Ashland, NE)

    We've only had a couple, and I think they were both around 3 miles. Ideally keep it to what's most comfortable for the least experienced or least fit in the group, usually. We haven't had any large groups yet, but the goal is to be able to have folks that need to cut it short do so while the...

    Running without gadgets

    I used to run with music, but no longer do if I'm barefoot. I prefer to hear everything around me for whatever reason. The only things I carry when I run are my watch, my phone, ID, and keys all stuffed into an arm band. I have a waist belt I can carry on hotter days if I need a water bottle...

    [Jun 2, 2012] Nebraska Group Run (Ashland, NE)

    The trail we'll be running on Saturday is concrete. Chose an easier route with several options because we need to plan for all levels of experience. They have hiking trails too, and we plan on doing group runs on those as well this summer. I haven't been trail running in awhile, and I'm...

    Yay Everglade! :) Can't wait to meet you! Go Barefoot - where are you at? Normally we run in Omaha/Bellevue, but this one's our first trip out of that area. Depending how far out you are, we'll try to come to you at some point. ATTENDEES: I updated the meet up location. Please also note...

    The Nebraska-Omaha chapter will be hosting a run at Mahoney State Park in Ashland, NE at 9:30am on 2 June (Saturday). The Omaha World-Herald will be there to get some video of barefoot/minimalist runners, and would like to interview people about their experiences if possible. I've spoken to...

    NEBRASKA/Iowa/Missouri runners! Please read!

    TJ, Yes please, I would like a list of email addresses. I sent out PMs to all members, but if they don't check the site often, they'll never get it. Any other exposure we could get would be great. I'll do the calendar; it's already been posted in the chapter. Please see my PM regarding the...

    Anyone had luck treating injuries with portable ultra sound?

    I had ultrasound therapy on my wrist last fall. Can't honestly say that it helped as the issue is still giving me a lot of trouble. Being a former performance horse trainer, I know folks who would use ultrasound on the horses with tendon/ligament issues, but always with mixed results.

    Women and Barefoot/Minimalist

    I didn't really notice the lack of women. Probably because I am one, and honestly don't go around counting. But while I've never seen any other women barefooting (I've only ever seen one other barefooter in the wild, anyway), I've seen quite a few in minimalist shoes. So....I guess it depends.

    Closed Can't see Chapter!

    Just logged in this morning and noticed that not only do I not see the Chapter button up top, but I can't even access the link to my (Nebraska-Omaha) chapter that I posted on Facebook last night. I was in the chapter last night doing some membership and posting a welcome back message, grabbed...

    Air Force: Basic Military Training

    Again, track down someone who Again, track down someone who has been through RECENTLY, or just call Lackland and ask. AFForums.com. I didn't go through BMT, but I highly doubt they allow just any old shoe there. If OTS doesn't allow them, I can't imagine in what realm BMT ever would. The...

    Air Force: Basic Military Training

    If BMT is anything like OTS If BMT is anything like OTS (and last I knew they were much more conservative at BMT), then VFFs are definitely a no-go. I would check on AFForums.com though and ask the question, because that's the first I've ever heard of non-issued running shoes being "approved"...

    Discuss Glucosamine, Chondrotin, MSM, and DMSO here

    Ignorant here...what on earth Ignorant here...what on earth are people using DMSO for these days? I worked professionally with horses for years, and still to some extent today. The only reason I ever touch the stuff is for certain infections that require oinments and other medical products to...

    Any experience with these boots?

    A guy on my last TDY had the A guy on my last TDY had the sage version (these), and all I could do was stare in jealousy. They looked significanly more flexible and lighter, and I'm definitely considering them too. Unfortunately I have three pairs of Corcorans already, and the cobbler didn't...
