    First outdoor barefoot run...

    Hey folks, I know it's been some time since I posted here, but I've been trying to get this barefoot running thing nailed and many of my questions/concerns were addressed just by my reading the forum and not having to post anything. In any case, up until a month ago, all of my BF running had...

    Running and....gaining weight?

    Thanks folks! This is all Thanks folks! This is all great advice. I'm still fairly new to running, so my 3.5 miles takes me about 35 minutes. I'm pretty happy about that since I'm asthmatic and just a year or so ago, I couldn't run from one end of the block to the other without gasping for air...

    Hey folks! Happy 2012 to ya! I've made a commitment this year to run 5 days a week taking the weekends off to recover. I have a question I'm hoping someone here can give me some insight on.

    Anyone have issues with patellar tendonitis?

    Thanks guys for the advice. Thanks guys for the advice. My weight is a bit of a factor, I'm sure, but I'm working on it. Also, thanks for the video. The music was a little trippy, but I'm certainly going to give it a try. The slanted thing: does it have a name or can you use anything in the...

    Need input on a strange bump...

    Well, I guess the above post Well, I guess the above post doesn't matter anymore! I massaged the area and after time began to really drive my knuckles deep into the area which hurt like crazy. But oddly enough, it seemed to work. The bump is gone and it doesn't feel so tight anymore. Yay me!

    Favorte Actor / Actress?

    Favorite actor: Joe Favorite actor: Joe Pesci. Why?: The guy is convincing being both a goof as well as a ruthless villain. Favorite actress: Meryl Streep Why?: Very versitile. Does comedy and drama well and, like Joe Pesci, does not look as though she is trying too hard at either.
