    1st BF injury - frostbite

    Sorry about that TJ. I wasn't sure how to shrink them and didn't realize they would be that big when I first posted them. Hope it's better now. Anyway, I did go to the Dr. and they just said yeah, it's frostbite, but nothing major. Wear non-restrictive footwear while at work till the blisters...

    1st BF injury - frostbite

    I know this thread is kinda old, but I didn't want to start a new one. Anyway, I was dumb today and now have frostbite. I went out for a short barefoot run and it was about 16F or so with single digit wind chill (from what I thought I heard on the radio, but my wife said it was only like 8-10F...

    Sores on my foot after longer runs

     Ok, that sounds good. I Ok, that sounds good. I usually run from home and like to just get out the door and run, but I will try to warm my feet up first and see if that helps. I usually carry my VFFs with me too, but even on my last run where I was actually "missing" a piece of skin at the...

    Sores on my foot after longer runs

    TJ, not 100% sure on the TJ, not 100% sure on the weather issue. The main time I notice it is when it is colder outside, so that may be an issue. The first time was on 4 Oct. and it was in the mid 30's, but my first early morning "cold" run. I don't usually get much wear on a shorter (4 or so...

    Sores on my foot after longer runs

     Oh yeah...also, as you can Oh yeah...also, as you can see on the pic of my right foot above, there is wear on my toes too. Esp. the middle toe. I definitely try to concentrate on "lifting" my feet and not pushing off. I have not videoed myself, but I do not feel like I am pushing off any.

    International Barefoot Running Day - 1 May 2011

    I finally found a race in my I finally found a race in my local area on that day, but it is a 1/2 Marathon. Since 1-5K is recommended, would it be a problem having IBRD at that race? It is a pretty big race in Wichita, so there will be a big turnout for runners, but I doubt anyone wanting to...

    The Zem Ad..

    Guess I'll chime in on this Guess I'll chime in on this now that I finally saw the ad. The girl's butt isn't that great...looks kinda flat to me, but it is a nice angle. Maybe she should be wearing some spandex type shorts or tights...??? (Like the girl that I "let" finish ahead of me on my...
