Turkey Terrors!

It must have been quite a challenge with those heels on!  

nhmorgan - 2007-11-06 10:29 PM this terrorific turkeys thread is in need of a post so we all look motivated. It is cold. Brrrrr. I spent a chunk of change on some cold weather gear today

oooooooh, what did you buy?  

Finished up a 6.5 mile run today would have gone further but it gets dark way too early now   I'm a little behind on the swim but I'll make it up no problem.

Everyones off to a great start.   Go Turkey Terrors!! 

Just checking in...

I've got another @4miler today for lunch and some weight training this evening.  I am on track for 25mi this week WooHoo.

Cold again here today so I am running in three laters hats and gloves.  I am a big wimp.

-----Nice job everyone----

get thee to a pool! 

there was a thread recently with an article pasted that posited that shoes cause injuries.  4 major points/datum i thought were interesting:

1) unshod populations (ie primitive peoples that don't wear shoes) have way lower incidences of things like bunions, plantar fascitis, shin splints, whatever.

2) in a survey of i think ~5000 runners at some long course event, the runners with shoes > $95 had more injuries than runners with shoes < $95.

3) if you think about it, a human's foot is supposed to be biomechanically able to handle lots of running and walking.  the first shoes were made to protect the soles of feet, and protect only - not to absorb shock.  if you put a layer in to absorb shock for your body, your body gets all confused because the signals of what it's supposed to do are all muffled by your fancy shoes. 

4) i forgot about this part - some studies  have shown that children who go mostly barefoot prior to the age of 6 have fewer foot problems than those who wear shoes all the time.

i just read it the other day, i thought it was interesting enough to consider trying barefoot running sometime.  a few BTers have finished marathons only wearing water shoes from walmart to protect the soles of their feet from debris. 

First what are you doing posting after midnight.....^^^^^^^^

Just checking in terrors.

5.1 miles today and that is it!!!!!! Yeahah.  I think I am going to look into the flats also.  It will probably lower my milage for awhile but I am tired of my arches killing me.  I was an athletic trainer and I have been lazy about strengthening my arch and smaller calf muscles.

Its Thursday.
