    Athlete claims first-ever barefoot Ironman finish in Lake Placid

    See, now when I was a kid, we rode bikes with those spiky pedals whilst barefoot (the 80’s were an interesting time). Now, I see that picture and flinch. I mean, I know it’s doable, but older me would want a thin layer of rubber, now…

    First time in a long time

    Right, then... I checked my history and the last time I ran barefoot was in April 2018. Then I managed to snap something in my right calf and never went back to barefoot S2G. Having a look at my shoes, I can see they need replacing, so I thought for shih tzu giggles, I'd give it a try. Got...

    People's reactions when you run

    I’ve found the folks closest to me we’re mildly opposed. Complete strangers, contrarily, thought it was cool.

    "Snap" in right calf

    So, Dr says I might have sparing the right calf. Now it’s RICE for 2 to 4 weeks. Going to see if I can ride, in the meantime..l

    "Snap" in right calf

    Oiy. Thanks for the advice and guidance. This is going to suck, I think. So, can I at least ride with it, since I’m not running.

    "Snap" in right calf

    Playing it by ear. I can't find my compression sox I had from years ago, so ordered another pair...will probably do that and wrap it to see how it heals. Again, I'm OK walking around, just have a limp...

    "Snap" in right calf

    Hi Folks - OK, on tonights run, there was some tightness in the right calf...nothign bad enough to make me stop; I figured I'd just stretch it when I got home. About three garages from home, there was a "snap" in the right calf and some soreness (or low level pain - 4 max on a scale of 1 to...

    They're fighting for your right to go barefoot – wherever, whenever

    I think this would work better in a less litigious society. Because, I can see someone walking into the store, stubbing their toe on the display and then suing...so I get where stores and restaurants are coming from. For me it’s the public restrooms that get me squidgy. I’ve stood shod on...
