    running post abdominal surgery?

    the surgeon told me I'll be cleared to run and do other exercises the second week in Oct. I figure I need to start easy. I'd like to run the 5K Turkey Trot in Detroit on Thanksgiving. Does this sound realistic as a goal? I have been walking at least that far already, but I can just walk and...

    womens shoe with a SOLID upper....

    Other than the Pure Gloves in leather and the VivoBarefoot Kali's- does anyone know of a women's show with a non cloth/mesh upper? Preferably a laceup style? I took a new position in a dalysis center and have to wear closed SOLID shoes on the patient floor... Since my Pure gloves are...

    the pyramid is gone, welcome the plate:

    (TJ- wasn't sure where to put this) Yesterday the USDA, HHS and the First Lady announced the end of the Food Pyramid and introduced it's replacement- MyPlate (www.choosemyplate.gov). I participated in watching the media blitz and in an online discussion forum among RD's that lasted most of...

    too wet to run..

    or why my run today was cut short.. the part on the sidewalk was fine.. there is a really great trail near here (behind a bike store, designed for the bikers). Part is wood bridges over the swamp, part is dirt. I've run there before- it's about a quarter mile out and then a quarter mile...

    What I learned re: sports nutrition

    As some of you know, I am running again, but sports nutrition was never my focus as a dietitian, I am trying to change that a bit, but it will probably never be the sole focus of my practice. Because of that, I am learning as I go, and will share what I learn here. I attended a session on...

    45, windchill 35 and it started snowing midway through my run..

    add in I took a different route- one I used to walk last year, but the asphalt was very broken up this spring and wasn't last winter.. and my pace was WAY slow... It's the first time I've tried to truly do a distance bare. Thankfully I had the shoes, but I started in them because they just...

    Has anyone tried the Merrell Pure gloves?

    For running OR non running? Trying to get an idea of if they will work for me... the pace gloves would be running only shoes as they are too casual for me to be able to work... but the pure gloves look like I could wear them as work shoes and have them when needed for running too... Still...

    mom... and Atlanta...

    We are going to see my folks in Atlanta for Passover Seder (April 15-19 is when we'll be there). I have mentioned running barefoot and dad is supportive if confused. Mom seems a bit lost... Anyway- she called today with some professional questions and I mentioned I would probably try to get...

    Mileage for the YEAR so far (not counting a few less than 1 mile runs the first day of the year because I didn't record them): 58 even.. I did 5.5 miles today. Not sure how much the mileage will continue.. I started a new job this Monday and only was able to run Tues because I finished...

I used to run marathons- never did ultras though, but in shoes and due to injuries had to stop running almost 20 years ago.. and today, I am starting to run again, but barefoot and...

    New from MI... HELLO!

    Hi.. I am an OLD runner (ran marathons in the late 80's and early 90's) who gave up running due to injuries. I tore a tendon in my ankle more than once, and had all kinds of foot, ankle, and knee problems. I have tried to get back to running many times since and always had to bow out due to...
