Camping in the Keys. Even ran a few times nice and slow, Keys style.

Longboarded Duval Street, and biked across many bridges.

Back to work in Detroit after 2 1/2 weeks on the road is taking some adjustment.

Feels great to be back on the BRS forums though!

Wow, I lost a few IQ points there.

I think what the dumbass who wrote this is trying to say is: "Running barefoot in the snow is bad. But running in the snow with socks on (which will hold moisture close to your feet and give you hypothermia) is good." Brilliant!

Or in other words, in the style of the underpants gnomes: "Step one: Barefoot in the snow is bad. Step two: ???????. Step three: Buy Injinji socks!"

I lost a few seconds looking for the rest of the article - you know, the part that pulled it all together so it made sense.

There's no real point to the article. It's like when my grandpa used to tell stories, and fell asleep in the middle of them.

Most of us have found that

Most of us have found that unless we are at a barefoot running promotional event we rarely see other barefoot runners at races. This writer sees them all the time, and they are always creepy males.

It's as if she heard about the socks, and then made up a story to try to go with it.

So, for the record, are barefoot runners creepy? (That is, can I use this as my excuse?)

I've never seen any runner at a race coming close to even bordering on creepy, not sure if creepos are even allowed to enter.

Now writers on the other hand......

Maybe she was somehow confusing barefoot writers at a poetry convention with runners.

I'm still a few days behind

I'm still a few days behind catching up with the news.

Maybe there ARE some possibly "creepy" barefoot people around, but probably not in the running community.
