Congrats on your 4 little
Congrats on your 4 little princes, Spooner!
Agree w/ the above, k's DO look longer than miles haha, gotta love the metric system.
Excited on 15 minimalist and 10 barefoot miles last week, because I was running about 50 miles a week in total, with about 30% of that being barefoot or barefoot plus (Invisible Shoes www.Invisibleshoe.com mileage) and the other 70% being in a minimalist product such as a Saucony kinvara, nike lunar racer, or track spike or xc flat... but then I did this 800m track race in colorado in late february (indoor) and a girl cut into the lane too early the first 40m and spiked the back of my achilles really really bad and punctured it with her quarter inch spikes argh... we both ate some mondo track that day and the girls behind us fell on top of us spiking everyones backs too-- it was a mess-- no quick times in that heat for certain ugh--the swelling was rediculous... so I was kind of out of training for about a month- grrrrr.
While doctors told me to simply run in traditional running shoes for awhile (the "cast cushion" approach) and because traditional running shoes have a "heel" if you will so it shortens the achilles, it still hurt really bad to do that, so I just cross trained cycling and swimming for a month.
I knew I was better and my achilles was ready to go when I could run barefoot and barefoot plus again without pain =)
Very very excited to have any barefoot or barefoot plus mileage to report-- hoping for more coming soon to make a comeback for the end of track season!
