    barefoot jumping?

    Last summer I ran barefoot consistently and eventually did 56 miles in September (cumulative, whole month, longest run 6 miles). Then I fell off the running wagon and didn't do much all winter and spring and am finally getting back to some consistency, having already run 14 miles this month...

    Maybe I just don't see it...

    Is there an easy way to get from a Chapter info page to the Chapter forums and back? To check my chapter page and forums I have to navigate all over the place. Tell me there's an easier way! Thanks!

    Raleigh, NC: Krispy Kreme Challenge

    I wish I still lived anywhere near Raleigh! This race is: Run 2 miles Eat a dozen donuts Run 2 more miles. Or you can join as a casual runner and not eat any or all of the donuts. It benefits the NC Children's Hospital. There isn't a barefoot division that I can see, but...

    Barefoot TJ wrote:I'm Ballerinas don't care about foot health (think "pointe" dancers!) They aren't anything I'd run in, but for a few hours they were plenty comfortable. I got them at PayLess of all high end shoe stores!!!! I was glad that I called the stores first because only 1 of the...

    Have you tried Acorn Socks/Shoe/Slippers?

    I saw some of these at a moccasin store the other day. Sadly the moccasins I went to look at were all way too narrow to be any use. Anyway, Acorn makes wool socks with suede bottoms. They looked awesome and I should have tried them on but I didn't, too many kids (of mine) running wild all over...

    I think treadmills are out to get me.

     Blisters or not, you deserve Blisters or not, you deserve giant applause for surviving the treadmill for that long. Even if I could run that distance, I'd never be able to do the mental distance on a treadmill. I barely did 30 minutes on ours the other night without killing someone. If hubby...

    draft proposed BRS standard for minimal running shoes PLEASE WEIGH IN

    I love this discussion, and I love this discussion, and have a few thoughts from a few different points throughout the 5 pages. On the "curve" discussion, the sole shouldn't be anything but FLAT when it's just sitting there without a foot in it. For example those martini flip flops someone...
