    Kids and footwear in the gym... Gym daycare that is...

    So my beautiful 10-month old (and also the reason I don't post much) has started walking. My wife goes to the gym and normally drops her off at the gym daycare. Today they wouldn't admit her because she was barefoot and "could trip". What are the legitimate reasons a kid should have to wear...

    Blisters!

    I guess 10:00 AM at the local track is now too hot to run. :-( Good thing I stopped at 3/4 of a mile.

    Heroes of Midlothian 5K

    First race in YEARS. Didn't break my PR of 19:00 (did this a few years ago in Hawaii), but won my age group with a 23:47. I ran in NB Minimus... We'll work towards a BF race. :)

    Sore Groin

    Hey guys. I get a sore groin after running faster than my normal jog speed. Did a 5K yesterday (23:47) and the groin is a bit sore. Nothing debilitating, and it'll go away in a day or so. Any ideas?

    Merrell "Glove" Shoes

    So I looked at Merrell's website today, and they only have two types of "Barefoot" shoes listed. None of them are the minimal cushioned "glove" type shoes. What happened?! I'm going to call them tomorrow (after Christmas) and ask. I'm starting to become concerned, I almost wear the Trail...

    Tripped on a Trail!

    Doing a run around a park. Dirt bike path. Didn't pick up my foot high enough as the outside toe caught root and I stumbled and fell! I kept running for another 3 minutes (that's how much I had left) and it's a little sore now. I think it'll be fine. Pick up your feet!

    New Job, New Footwear

    Hey guys. Starting to run again in min shoes. I might try some barefoot soon, but since I've moved to Texas the roads are only good to run on (temperature wise) for about 2 weeks of the year. I'm almost certain they'll be 100+ degrees here shortly. I took a new job. I'm now working in a...

    Venting: 2013 Not a Good Running Year for Me

    First, I'm thankful for what's good in my life. I have all of my limbs, they all work, and I'm in good health. I workout at an Army gym and I occasionally see a guy lifting that doesn't meet those requisites. So bottom line, lots to be thankful for. Ok, so I was up to about 3 miles barefoot in...

    Too sore to run today

    Weightlifters: When do you do squats?

    Weightlifters: When do you do squats? As I'm regaining health and getting healthier (upper and lower body) I've been lifting weights and running. When do you do leg workouts if you run every other day? Oh, and I hate doing abs, so I don't.

    Went to The Rapist today

    I mean therapist. I've been having some knee pain for about six weeks now. Never constant, just some pain on the lower inner knee and some soreness where the quad joins the patella tendon. This resulted in a referral to a therapist. Diagnosis: Ligaments are fine, joint is fine, x-rays...

    Weird Knee Pain

    So 8 days ago, I noticed some knee pain. Its hard to call it pain; discomfort and instability and some decreased range of motion. I think its from wearing heavy boots for a few days in a row. I ran 6 days ago, fine, no problems, but decided to take a week off for the heck of it. Yesterday I...

    Boo... Rock

    Took a nice step on a rock yesterday, about two minutes into my run. It was going to be a good run too. Nice (not visible) bruise to the bone I'm thinking. Real tender in the right spot. Looks like I'm down for a bit.

    Broke Left 4th Toe (Not from BFR)

    I was out on the lake, switching from water socks to something else, when I was squeaking through a space in the sailing center shack and SMACK... Stubbed the fourth toe to the point where it was crooked. I tried to put it back into the right place and it decided to go crooked again. So I...
