    Confession Time

    Hi, haven't posted for a really really really long time. Last year was training for my first half marathon S2G. ("S2G," lol! Love it! Been out of the loop and haven't encountered that.) Around the time I started running 9 miles, got a terrible injury. :( Was not writing my blog at the time...

    The Running Form Thread

    My understanding of physics is so rudimentary that I've had to concentrate hard to follow this whole conversation. But I went to my son, who is a physics whiz and told him about the discussion here and he told me a couple of interesting things, which may or may not add to the discussion. He...

    Just Don't Want to Train in Shoes

    ThomDavid, I should have put a little winky-face (;)) next to my comment about being embarrassed for exposing my over-thinking. I write a whole blog that consists of me mostly of exposing my over-thinking for all the world to see, lol!! I scoured this forum and also the entire Internet and...

    Is Disney secretly pro-barefoot?

    I think that it's just fun to draw bare feet. Bare feet can do so many things, that any animator would love to make them bend and flex and wiggle all over the screen!

    When will my soles be tough enough?

    This is my third season as a barefoot runner. The first year I inspected my feet very carefully after each run. If I found ANYthing I was so diligent about fixing it right then and there -- pulling splinters out, washing wounds, etc... I don't know when or how it happened, but somehow I got...

    Just Don't Want to Train in Shoes

    Hi, TJ! I was planning all along to do just as you suggested, spend a little time during my training runs wearing the Unshoes. Just that now that I have them and the time is here to do that, I just don't want to put them on, lol! Barefoot Gentile, thanks for weighing in. Hard to find...

    Just Don't Want to Train in Shoes

    Thank you, Ramzev and Dama. It's good to hear your advice and I'm happy to hear that I should just try to do it barefoot. Yes, Barefoot Dama, it is fear of the unknown. I had trouble in the Epcot parking lot a couple of years ago, but my feet are much tougher now. I'm able to walk/run on...

    Just Don't Want to Train in Shoes

    Hi, I'm someone who hasn't posted for a long time. Nice to come back and say hello to you all. This seems like a babyish problem, but I just don't want to train in shoes at all. I started running barefoot three years ago and I have not used shoes yet. I put on some Vibrams to run in the...

    Odd TOFP

    Here's a video about it I'm watching now that seems very good. My husband, who is a dual-degreed medical physican and chiropractic physician, gave me an adjustment to restore mobility of the cuboid bone (and joints surrounding it) in the foot last night that has produced considerable...

    ElyDave, Not a doctor here, total lay person, but try google searching "cuboid syndrome" (AKA "aggravated cuboid," "cuboid subluxation," "lateral plantar neuritis," "cuboid fault syndrome," "dropped cuboid," "locked cuboid," and "subluxed cuboid") I came here to the BRS forums trying to find...

    Fellowship of the Morton's Toe

    Whew, am I tired now. I just read through this entire thread! I am in the club, but after three years of running barefoot, I am having way less problems with this. My problems at the beginning were the callous forming over the 2meta, a feeling every once in a while like I was stepping on a...

    I'm very overweight and I I'm very overweight and I started barefoot running a year ago. I had gained a modicum of fitness through working out with kung fu, and I had previous experience running, and I had been trying to build up to running for a couple years prior to my taking off my shoes...
