Last fall, I started barefoot running. I was just getting my soles conditioned when I overdid it on some soft ground and hurt something in my low ankle. By the time I was back to normal, it was cold, then the cold ground inhibited my training. I know some people BFR in the cold, but I'm just not...
I should be out running at the moment. I'm dressed for it. I have 45 minutes until I have to pick up my son from school. I could not find my mp3 player (two family members used it over the weekend, and someone put it somewhere). I started to look for it, but cannot find it. I did find a giant...
I have been dealing with allergies/a cold for a couple of days, so I decided not to push myself to really run today. Instead I threw on my VFFs, hung my camera across my body, left the Sansa at home and went out to just enjoy myself for an hour. It might not have done anything for my cardio...
