After a long hibernation, I emerged yesterday and did a very short, just over 2 mi., smooth asphalt barefoot run. My first shoeless undertaking since...
Just kidding. Though I did run from my home in Huntington Beach, Ca to Central Park this morning. It wasn't the Central Park in New York. We have a smaller...
After more than 65 years of running (mostly) barefoot, Doc Charley Robbins has finally stopped running. Apparently his arthritis has become too painful. I was...
Ken - maybe Doc's daughter Barrie will join you and the East Coast barefoot gang your trip assembles. Good luck. - jon October 13, 2002 Barefoot in Bushnell...
Hey Ken, Sounds like a good idea. Count me in. Would like to see you and any other barefoot runners on July 4th in CT. We should honer him for sure. Might get...
Jon, Preston, and others, I have Charley's address, so I will write to him and include a letter for him to forward to Barrie, his daughter (since I don't have...

Ken, I like your belief statement. I'm surprised how many people really believe the signs some establishments have that "we reserve the right to refuse service...
... You should find out what joints are being affected by the arthritis. You can bet someone will come about to say "See I told you that running barefoot is ...
I'm too young to be considered an expert on arthritis, however I have experienced a dramatic improvement in my joints. I think a lot of it has to do with diet...
I'd make the trek to Ct. to run with you brethren of the bare foot, but I got the impression from a podiatrist today that my running career is over. I've...
Does the lump seem anchored but also "move"? Has your Dr. ruled out a ganglia? Sometimes repeated used of an injured joint will cause this type of gelatinous...
This confirms my belief that bananas have helped my joint pains. My wife started trying the "Eat Right for your Type Diet" which suggested that bananas inhibit...
Eat lots of bananas! Wait that was the last message. Yes, Scott, I have landed on rocks, glass, bits of metal, pebbles, (I even met a nice dog the other day ...
Just thought you might find this interesting. I live in Auckland, New Zealand, and at lunchtime I sometimes run in a large park close to the university where...
... Yes. At a restaurant on campus (I work at California State University, Long Beach. I work barefoot). Some co-workers and I used to go fairly regularly to...
... stigmatization ... Though a lot of people here in the USA don't have anything against going barefoot, they continue to wear shoes, simply out of habit. I ...
Yes - your description is fairly accurate. The fact that it "moves" a little is why he did not think it was just a fluid sac - like a prolonged blood blister -...
I eat a banana a day, sometimes more, depending on whether the kid(s) eat a whole one or not. Got a banana write here at my cubicle. And in as much as one is...
Last summer about halfway through a 4 mile run I landed on a stone which struck my arch just in front of the heel. It hurt but I was able to finish my run...
... Having read that book myself, I wonder if there is any correspondence of blood type with the preference for going barefoot. And how do the feet of ...
I am an "O" who put shoes on last year to run my first marathon and have decided to take them off again. Of course the weather has been so bad around here in...
... near/under ... prognosis ... toe ... Well Scott, I think there are few barefoot runners out there that have not landed on the same injury twice. I have...
I guess I'm pretty convinced to ignore diet ideas based on blood type. Basing diet on what feels right makes a lot of sense. I'm convinced diets were...
Thanks Larry. No penetration occured. I did experience the joys of digging things out of my feet, popping blood blisters, etc. last year, but this injury is...
I was pretty skeptical about the diet myself. Especially about type "O", like my wife, needing high protein. The author's references to hunter-gatheres were...
As far as hunter gatherers anthropologists do know a lot more now than a few decades ago, but the percentage of meat varies from 10% to 100% (eskimos). They...

I eat the occassional small bug when I'm happily running barefoot down the river trail. But, as far as high protein vegetable sources, that was never a...
