    So, who gets bruises sometimes when you run, and how do you deal with it?

    For me occasionally I land on a pee size rock with the ball of my foot or heel. Hurts like .ell and do leave a bruise. I try to take care landing to heavy on this spot until it has gone away (sometimes 1 week). Don't know is massage could hurry up the healing but worth a try. Maybe icing it down...

    Ball Chaffing

    Chaser, i'm not having the exactly same problem but seams can be a very painful issue. I have this problem both when running in compression shorts and when using my trisuit. As you mention lots of bodyglide seems to help to some degree. I don't have a good solution to your problem but I feel for...

    do you think women with short hair are more ugly?

    Well at the age of 47 I'm not really fan of anybody. Guess when I was 15 I probably would have been. The only thing I'm fan of is being barefooted :)

    5th Annual Winter Challenge

    Would like to hear more about this petroleum jelly. Where can it be bought? Sounds a bit 'dangerous' to put on feet. Does it catch fire (i'm a fast runner) ....Not.

    best method to clear soles of pebbles: flamenco pose?

    Hello canary island feet, glad to hear you tried it. It does take a bit of practice. I have no plans going to the islands right now, but if you ever return to CPH/Denmark give me a notice :)

    best method to clear soles of pebbles: flamenco pose?

    When ever a rock/pebble gets stuck for more than one or two steps I just let the foot gently slide on the ground when taking the next step. This way I don't need to stop and remove. Takes a bit of practice not to hurt your foot though.

    Bacteria question

    Which holds the most bacteria, the barefoot or the shoe after a day's walk? I noticed when taking a picture of my bare feet after walking a whole day in Rome that they were VERY dirty. When looking at the sole of my wife's shoes they don't seem at all that dirty.

    Finally went into a store barefoot!

    I was on vacation in Barcelona 2 weeks ago and got kicked out of 'Corte Ingles'. My Spanish is not good enough to start asking why etc. Just left the building. In Denmark where I live the only time I have had problems with being BF was in Tivoli. They apparently have a regulation against being...

    Barcelona Barefooters?

    Hi, I'm going on vacation with my family close to Barcelona. Are there any 'Barcelonians' who knows a good route for running? We will be staying in a city called Vilanova i La Geltrud.
