56.59 barefoot miles for me this week: http://barefootrunner.org/06weeklymileage/weekending10-1-06.htm Hope everyone had a good week and here's wishing ya'll a...
Rick - Thanks for your good wishes and linkage to my Portland Marathon report for my Cool Running Group. I first ran Portland in 1990 and and couldn't be ...
Often when I am running and I hear shod runners coming up from behind me, I am conscious of what type of foot strike I am hearing. Sometimes, it is so "scrapy"...
Rick - you are so amazingly perceptive. I know you don't know what he would say because this was only his second marathon (first was San Juan) and one of the...
SpoonerWeb posts to my weekly barefoot thread on Runner's World Marathon Forum. Here's how he did at Akron on Saturday 9/30: "... Set a barefoot PR at Akron...
Well, I did a Nike Teaser run at noon, 9-27-06. I parked about 1 mile away, not knowing where else to park. Turns out I could have parked curbside in front of...
Hi, Rick! I should get over here to your discussion group more often! Congratulations on a wonderful race time! I wonder if I will EVER get up to being able to...
I was actually out at your blogspot the other day, Ryan. You have some cool shirt designs. http://www.ardydub.blogspot.com/ What a hoot! BR ... mile ... ...
I'm not so sure, Ryan, that it is just "form". The longer I do this, I become more convinced that certain people are more prone to naturally run barefoot...
Yes, 30 miles is my barefoot weekly record and I passed my 200th mile barefoot this last week. I'm just beginning my 4th month of barefoot running. Thanks for...
Your questions are inspiring me to follow through with something I have been wanting to do for some time -- step in some paint and make footprints and then ...
So many factors that I hadn't even thought of ... Of course, my suppositions are relevant because they are relevant to my experience. Just as yours are...
I ran with Barefoot Jason (spoonerweb) at the Bayshore Marathon in May. It was fun running with him, but I just wasn't in shape to hold that pace at the time....
Just to let you all know, Barefoot Todd isn't as slow as his marathon times indicate. At Lake Tahoe, he was with Michae and me well past 20 miles, but he opted...
I have an elderly friend who runs like that. We call it the "Charlie Shuffle", and you can really hear it, on the beach path, especially when a thin layer of...
Thanks for clearing that up, BKB. I thought maybe Todd stopped and took a nap and slept a little longer than he had anticipated. That makes total sense,...
Some of us go through life "lightly" and barely make a sound, others of us just "scrape" by! Gee, so many juicy metaphors in running! BR ... the "Charlie ... ...
I'm thinking about a double next month ... Maybe that Mountain Home Marathon on Saturday 11/18 in Arkansas (you know, the one I did a couple of years ago with...
It really warms my heart to hear about Todd helping others out during a marathon. For so many, a marathon is an egocentral experience. I think its a sign of a...
You're right, Ryan. And, heck, after 200 or so marathons that Todd has done it only makes sense to be giving back to the sport and activity he obviously loves...
I figured I would jump in and start giving my weekly updates instead of just reading post...I get a bit lazy with Email at times. Last week I had 15 BF...
My wife and I enjoy reading the same book from time to time so we can discuss it. We recently read "O Pioneers" by Willa Cather who is a wonderfully expressive...
Thanks Bob. Wow, 300 miles already! Where has the year gone? Let's see, with Jon's 26.2 barefoot marathon I think it shakes out like this: Bob - 15 barefoot...
