Not real cold, but it was 45 degrees with a cold, driving rain with windchill at 38 degrees. The first mile was a little cold. My body got used to running in...
Beautiful day here in the Heartland, temps in the 70s. Not bad for November in Kansas City. I was a couple of miles into a 7 mile run when I was crossing a...
A couple of challenging runs this week .. one weather related (coldest run of the season so far) and my run on Saturday where I slightly stubbed my toe. No big...
Speaking of shoes... Dave, My feet are small, and I don't have much need for protection here on the southern California beaches and well swept roadways and...
I am a 9.5. Unfortunately, the thought of running other than barefoot makes me shiver with dread. I will have to pass the experiment to someone else. Barefoot...
I'm a 10 1/2 and looking to run w/o shoes, not try new ones. But thanks for asking! -- Jerry On 11 Nov 2004 at 10:31, Rick Roeber wrote: I am a 9.5....
Number 5 this year was going to be Gobbler Grind in Overland Park KS on 11/21. I waited too long to sign up and they sold out! This marathon has never sold...
Hi Laurie, I have decided to run the Mountain Home Marathon. I will be staying at the Baxter Inn. It does not appear that you have online registration, so I...
A couple of weeks ago, Sprint asked us for stories regarding how we spend our time away from work. So, of course I sent them something about barefoot running....

Got myself a probable stress fracture of my second metatarsal after a half-hour barefoot run on an indoor track, so I am not running for a few weeks. :( On 19...
Nothing obvious. I was running fairly easily (I am working on perfecting Pose form), on a very short track (total circumference 100 yds), ran for a half...
They always seem to declare these pains as stress fractures, especially if they can't see anything in the x-rays. You are, I am guessing, trying something you...
Ken Bob, Funny. I've had two running "injuries" in the last three months -- first one was my right foot, with shoes, second one my left foot, barefoot -- and...
Uh ... let's see. I think there are about 200 participants, so that's about right, Ken!! Heading down to the high school in a few minutes to register and to...

Jerry, That was a well-written explanation of a medical ephipheny (I think that's how you spell that!). I have for some time thought that pure rest for an...
We got nine inches of the wet slushy variety last night. It was 34 degrees when I went out to run this afternoon. The first mile was a bit chilly, but I warmed...
Got my first barefoot snow run of the season. Also, most days were below 40 degrees, which helps condition my feet to the colder days ahead. 43 miles ...
Just a little story -- I run on the North Downs in Surrey, England and I have an interesting battle with the terrain ... This just a few miles along the ridge...
It was a beautiful day for a run. The snowflakes were falling and the snow was piling up as I sang: (To the tune of "What a day for a daydream") What a day to...
Thanks for both yours and Pirie's perspective, Edwin. Not totally sure what you refer to when you say gravel chip tracks? Would that be sections of gravel...
