    Newbie in sweltering NC

    Hi Karen. Right now I'm in Greenville. Thanks so much for the offer. I don't make it to Raleigh often, though. However, my hubby just finished his Masters and we may be relocating depending on job offers. If I get closer to your area I'll be sure to let you know!

    What beer are you drinking tonight? For the new forum...

    I guess BFR + homebrewer = instant bossom buddies, right? :-D

    What beer are you drinking tonight? For the new forum...

    It's nice to see from this thread that the barefootin' community has good taste in beer. I guess that should not surprise me one bit! ;)

    What beer are you drinking tonight? For the new forum...

    I just recently scored a bottle of Weyerbacher Blasphemy...a Quadrupel aged in bourbon barrels. (pant! pant! drool! drool!) I am being patient and letting it age a little as I wait for some cooler weather to enjoy it. Highland Brewing's Gaelic Ale is my go-to, never-disappoint-me beer...

    Today is National Braless Day!

    Good for you! I also believe proper support is very important. It pains me when I see a lady running down the path with what is obviously an ill-fitting bra that does not properly do what it should be doing. I can't help but think it is bad for the back and shoulders and in the end, after years...

    Today is National Braless Day!

    Mark. I will be honest. I have a very hard time finding proper sports support. Most bra manufacturers assume that if your cup size is large, then your total ribcage size is proportionally large. Therefore, ones that fit my cup size are too loose in the band to actually provide support. Many...

    Today is National Braless Day!

    Only if I want to get hit in the face! :p But seriously, the gods (I promise, I did not opt for this) saw fit to "endow" me with a 32DD or E so running free is not an option.

    Questions about Blisters

    When I was younger, I was taught and encouraged to run foot forward, landing on the heel and rolling off the foot...probably had a lot to do with my persistent injuries. :-( You are correct about the heel strike. I don't seem to do this running barefoot, but I still tend to walk this way...

    Questions about Blisters

    Thanks for the advice Gburg. It's nice to hear that walking much distance barefoot can be a challenge for even experienced BF runners...makes me feel like less of a wimp for getting blistered.

    Questions about Blisters (reposted)

    I originally posted this question yesterday on another forum and Barefoot TJ suggested I also post it here to see what the Docs say. Questions: --What is the proper way to treat blisters? --Should I prick with a pin and drain, or just leave them alone? Background: I am still a beginner...

    Questions about Blisters

    Questions: --What is the proper way to treat blisters? --Should I prick with a pin and drain, or just leave them alone? Background: I am still a beginner. I've been going barefoot as much as possible (80-90% of the time) for the last month or two and started running barefoot a few weeks...

    Your opinion on stickers please...

    Super! And I would like to add that I think the artwork is most excellent!

    Your opinion on stickers please...

    Good point! I was just thinking of the many university decals I see that are printed on clear. I didn't even notice the "vinyl" you mention.

    Oops! I Did it Again!

    Oops, I did it again! Yep. I ran barefoot today for my 2nd time. I would've done it sooner, but I've been feeling kinda' sick. My other reason is that I run outside and we've been smacked with a horrible, miserable heat wave...the kind that knocks the breath out of you when you step outside...
