This local guy wants to video tape me for some barefoot footage for his website/business/not sure, really. I know he does have a local guy, Mark Curp, on his...
Sounds reasonable to me Jerry. You should not have a problem by May to be logging that type of mileage. If mile by it seems like a trial, Take it inch by inch...
Yeah, Rick, it feels better every day. Soles of my feet will soon be as smooth and supple as fine Italian leather! So far, these runs are 2 and 3 mile...
Karl, What you may want to do is take your shoes off the last couple of miles of the half marathon and see how it feels racing barefoot. If you do this, be...
Thanks Rick, I will try to keep you posted with my progress. Since I have decided to take this step I have found it really difficult to motivate myself for the...
13 barefoot miles this week, my first week, all on hard rubber track. Not ready for the asphalt yet -- maybe in a week or two! On 28 Feb 2005 at 1:39, Barefoot...
About 50 miles this week. Anybody else want to tell us about your week of running? No matter how little or how much or what you might be planning for the next...
Good points Jerrry. First of all, I ran the entire course as it was laid out, so I didn't run any grass or shoulders -- I ran the entire way on either asphlat...

Rick, tell us a little more about "a few areas ... that were a bit rough..." Describe it more specifically, if you will: gravel? sticks and stones? messed...
Ran the Ft. Worth Cowtown Marathon this weekend. What a great course and to the most part ... barefoot-friendly. There were a few areas through Trinity Park...
Welcome Karl, It sounds like you are switching to barefoot running for a lot of the same reasons I did. First, my knees were plagued with injuries because of...
Karl, As you make this exciting switch, take a look at the Pose Method of Running. It may help you accomplish your goal of staying injury- free. Best of luck!...
Hi to All I am a UK runner, and I am hoping to move over to barefoot running in the next week or two (One final shod half marathon next weekend, I'm afraid). ...
This Saturday, won't have to worry about remembering to bring my leather ankle strap for my timing chip at the Ft. Worth Cowtown Marathon. Apparently, the chip...
Here is some interesting insight from Pele' regarding running and dribbling a soccer ball using a low center of gravity and your haunches: "If you squat down...
Have you ever noticed how an animal runs? Of course you have, but what I'm referring to is where their power for speed and distance comes from. It comes from...
Jerry Griffin - Maybe you could offer your advice to this fellow regarding differences between Pose and barefooting. Not sure if you are a member of Ken's...
Six days until Cowtown Marathon. Got in 59 miles this week which is a bit of a step down from last week. However, still managed another 15 miler this week....
Rick, I've never seen a barefoot Pose video. I may be making one myself in a few months, but I'm not yet a good enough Poser to justify anyone watching me! --...
Jerry ... Any of these Pose runners running barefoot in their videos? If you know of any that can be downloaded from the web, I would appreciate a link. ...
I have been recently looking at videos of Pose runners. It always looks as if they are about to land on their heels, but they don't. I think it is simply a...
Hi Lucy, Yes, I have wondered the same thing when I have looked at some of those pics ... like I was hitting heel first. Especially the one with just my feet...
Hi Rick, Just been looking through your photos from 2004 - they are great, nice to see the USA barefooters having fun! Maybe it's an optical illusion, and of...
A good week of running (70 miles). Managed another semi-long run yesterday (15 miler) and a couple of 10ers earlier in the week. These should provide a topping...

This was a good week of running. Not only did I run a few more miles than a normal week, but I managed to keep my pace between an 8 and 9 minute pace. I know...
