    Thank you TJ. For me it's the small weaknesses very close to home that I allow to keep me from reaching even the foothills of my ambition.

    Thanks - and yes, I ran barefoot. Feet took a little damage (some minor scratches and a little blood blister) but considering I hadn't done any real bf for a few weeks in the lead up, they took it well. I wrote a run report for the Germany chapter; I'll translate it when I have time.

    where do your thoughts wander on (longer) runs?

    If you like that, you might like this remix. It's also got something and the video (shot in Berlin) has something, I think:

    @Migangelo - Thought so, but better safe than sorry. Thanks for reassuring me. Thanks also for that clarification. Sounds like I should/could apply a lot of pressure (considering the dislocation warning). I'll start easy and see...

    Thanks for the ideas Mike, even though you've taken offence (which makes me sad, as it wasn't my intention). What do you mean by "supported thumbs"?

    Thanks, Willie. The question mark must mean "what? Can't you control a ball rolling around your foot?" - the answer is: no, I do that really badly! I'm a right muppet with things like that.

    Thanks for those tips, all. Seems like using tennis or golf balls is more popular than hand massage. I'm a bit poor with using those on the top of my feet - need to practise more to stop the ball rolling off in all directions. (Btw: the rating was a precautionary measure to try to stop the...
