    Hooyah for Hoorag

    A few weeks ago, I was given a Hoorag to try out. It is awesome. It came, neatly folded in a clean little package. It comes in all kinds of designs. I got black with flame orange and red dragon. When it's hot and I'm running, the sweat drips into my eyes like crazy. I have worn bandanas...

    My Family is Nuts....

    My family is nuts. Is your family nuts? My family is nuts. I'm not going into details. But, holidays....man they were a lot more fun when all I cared about was toys. I guess I'm just blowing off steam. While I've basically said nothing, you don't really want to hear the details, do you? Time for...

    What are you reading?

    Against all reason and good sense, I'm hoping to add another strand to my thread count. For those of you caught between the modern obsession with online forums and the Paleo Diet (They don't read at all right?), whatcha been reading between the covers? Cardboard Covers, that is. 1) Post what...

    First 60 mile ride today.

    Ok, I should really post this at bikeforums but you all are more fun. My normal commute to work is only a wimpy 3 miles. But today, I rode 30 miles to a conference, and then 30 miles back. The ride was beautiful. I left in the dark at 5am and made it to the beach at sunrise. 30 minutes later I...

    The Things Kids Say....

    I'm a teacher, and I alternated riding my bicycle and running to school during the week. On my way home this afternoon, as I passed a mom and her kids walking home from school, a little girl called out, "Where's your bike?" She was maybe 7. "It's at home," I said. "Why?" she asked. "Today I'm...

    Arms and Hips

    I've been working on the ideas in Jason's post on Finding Your Spring. But, instead of finding it in my legs, where I thought it would be, I found my spring in the connection between my hips and my arms. Focusing on synchronizing my hip movement and my arm movement has helped me forget about...

    Just weird.....

    After my longest run ever last friday....10.5 miles, I started limping around because of an achilles/calf tightness issue in my left leg. I'm used to rolling my calves and loosening things up, but this time the tightness lasted longer than normal, and only on one side. Usually it goes away after...

    Barefoot Running Theme Song

    What song best celebrates barefoot running or just going barefoot? Barefoot Reference comes at around 49-52 seconds in.... This is the only song I know that references going barefoot. I think it also will resonate with the independent thinkers on this forum. Cheers!

    Is your spouse embarrassed by your barefoot running in public?

    :) I'm a teacher and my wife is embarrassed by my running barefoot to school in the morning and back home in the afternoon. She begs me to buy vffs. She is mortified whenever I tell her I saw someone on the way to school or on the way home. Tonight she posted on her Mom Board Forum a poll...

    How to I get faster on pavement?

    I would like to increase my pace running on roads (or trails, but most of my running is just in my own neighborhood.) Right now I'm stuck at about 15 minute miles. Now, I can go faster. I've felt pretty comfortable sprinting for short distances on grass. I've even done the same on sidewalks...
