    Mileage Reporting 26th Week of 2013

    6 miles in the xero sandals today. I tried barefooting it but the pavement was burning hot and the grass was either to trashy or non-existent. Clearly I made a poor route choice and timing choice to run at 2 pm on a cloudless 93 degree day.. :) Thankfully I had to cut the grass as well so I...

    Is it socially unacceptable to go barechested?

    Based on 90% of the news stories I've read the last few years it seems letting people be is quite hard.

    Mileage Reporting 24th Week of 2013

    Good call on stopping. I tried ego'ing my way through a run in a similar boat. All I can say is I've never ever been so happy to see an unguarded porta potty as I was that day.

    Mileage Reporting 24th Week of 2013

    3miles bare, 1.4 miles in my altra samsons and then .6 miles walking bare in the grass. I've had a terrible time finding motivation to run my full plan lately. I get out and when I get within a mile from home/finish point the motivation to go back inside disappears. I thought the 90ish temps...

    Shoes for basketball?

    I tried once and had more trouble with other people stepping on me than the act of playing barefooted. Kind of like riding a motorcycle. I can do it fine but the idiots around me cause all the problems :)

    Is it socially unacceptable to go barechested?

    My only complaint with ladies running topless or in a sports bra is the opposite of being able to look away.... makes it hard to focus on the road in front of me at times when I'm doing this: :woot:

    Is it socially unacceptable to go barechested?

    I'm all for being shirtless as much as possible. But I'm warm by nature. If it is above 75ish I'll pull the shirt off for runs, basketball, mowing etc. Mainly because I've yet to find shirt that doesn't feel sticky or constricting. And honestly after dropping a fair bit of weight over the...

    Anyone do a Spartan Race?

    Which one are you doing? I've done a 12 mile tough mudder. Which from people who have done both they called the spartan a little tougher than the TM. I'll sayer the TM was fun but not hard. Three friends and I ran together. We were in the top 5 or 10% and qualified for the "Worlds Toughest...

    Mileage Reporting 21st Week of 2013

    2 miles bare and 2 miles in my bikilas today. I spent most of last week not being able to run bare after beating them up on a 4 mile run because my ego wouldn't let me put shoes one...yippy for "playing through the pain..". So this weeks goal is to listen to my feet better :happy:

    How do you clean your feet??

    I'm not in CO or WA so you never know when the popo may chase you through barefoot unfriendly allies :)

    How do you clean your feet??

    My wife did this when I cut the grass barefoot the first time: :eek::mad::oops: So I asked her to find me a pair of shoes that would protect my feet if I ran over them with the mower. We came to an agreement that mowing was OK. But weed eating and chain sawing were shod only activities. :D

    How do you clean your feet??

    I scrub mine on the grass. It restores a healthy green color pretty quick.

    Marathon: alternatives to goo and sports drinks

    On long runs (14+) I usually carry home made goo + water as needed. The goo is a bit of salt 1.5 oz of local raw honey and 1.5 oz of black strap molasses. That is way more than I've needed on any run but it is nice to have extra. I'm becoming more convinced having something sweet is just as much...
