    I miss running!

    I miss it so much that I find almost all my dreams are about it. The feeling of the warm and cool ground under my feet and the wind on my face. I never thought I would miss it this much. I can't wait for Wednesday, I have a doc appointment and I'm hoping to be allowed to run again!

    Question about my calf

    I have been stretching it and rolling it out multiple times a day. I use some heat on it before hand and a bit of icing after. I have been keeping it wrapped. It feels pretty much back to normal just a few twinges here and there. My doc said no running for 6 - 8 weeks which would put me at Feb...

    Calf Problem....HELP

    I was not even running when it happened. I was just walking across the room, turned to turn out the light and there was this POP in my left calf...the pain was so bad I hit the floor. It felt like what I assume getting shot feels like. I could not even walk the rest of the day. I had to...

    Ankle pain....what to do.

    I had a pretty crappy run yesterday. I was only able to go 1.5 miles. I have a pretty bad bruise on the bottom of my toe where I had that imbedded rock. It is okay to walk on and I gave it an entire week of rest so I thought I would go out on a run yesterday. Well it still hurts to run...not bad...

    BFR and heel strike?

    I didn't think that I had a heel strike. I didn't think you really could while BFR. I thought I had more of an entire foot hitting at the same time (mid-foot strike?) Well, apparently I was wrong. The professional pictures were just posted for my 5k this past Sat. and I most certainly have a...

    First BFR injury *pic included*

    I got my first BFR injury today. I had a 5k this morning and I think it hit 36 degrees out over night. Well the race was just after sun up and I think starting temp was maybe 40 degrees. I knew my feet would warm up after I hit about a mile but man were they really cold until then. As soon as...

    Are KSO's hard to put on?

    I just got some KSO's today. They are impossible to put on. It took a good 10 min. to get one on, then I still had to get the other one on. Once on they seem to fit great. I think the opening is small? They are hard to pull over my heels. Is this just an issue I'm having? So many people...

    Run Amoc Lite or Smooth

    I have decided to go with the Run Amoc shoes for winter running wear. Chicago is just too cold for me. I can't decided between the Lite or the Smooth. http://www.softstarshoes.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=107&CFID=48477720&CFTOKEN=12264323 Will my feet get too hot...

    Question about form and hills.

    I live in a river valley so there are quite a bit of hills (I am in Illinois though so they are not really big hills :) ) I don't have any trouble going up the hills but coming down is another story. It makes my feet hurt. TOFP type of hurt. It goes away as soon as I stop or hit a more flat...

    Cleaning Feet

    I have been having trouble getting my feet clean. I run almost 100% on asphalt. So I have the black sticky imbedded in the bottom of my feet. I have been using one of those scrubby things you can get for your dishes. I have tried a pumice stone. Both leave the bottom of my feet slightly grey...

    Cut on foot.

    I kicked the leg of my computer desk hard enough that I got a gash between my toes (between the pinkie toe and second to last toe). How should I care for it and keep running? Bandaid? I would think that would fall off...should I just leave it uncovered? I don't want to get dirt in it. I...

    Age

    So, in the spirit of getting to know everyone a bit better...give up your age and how long you have been running and barefoot running. I am 31 (I really don't feel it) I am really new to both running and BFR. I started in July of this year.

    New Member Introduction

    I keep trying to go to the new member intro area to intoduce myself and it keeps saying access denied. Is this a kink that is still being worked on or do I need to jump through some magical hoop to be able to access it? ;)
