Run home 4:00pm Drive back by later tonight and pick up my bike and bike stuff. LOL, they aerated the field we use for practice so all those little plugs were on the ground. While we weren't leaving imprints in the ground (don't want to damage the field) the plugs just all turned to mud so I rode the :30 to work flinging mud at everyone else on the trail. Walked through work up to my office covered in mud to pick up my suit, then to the gym for a shower. Got quite a few interesting looks since I had mud all over my clothes and face. Have to come back tonight and pick up the mudball that is my bike. Life would be awesome if we had a shower, not to mention a gym, in our building. My office is close to some nice running routes and is an easy commute by bike, but the lack of shower puts a damper on all of that. hey, Seahwaks #36??? who is that? Not current Lawyer Milloy right? It's #38 - Perrenial Back-up Mack Strong. He'll never not be a Seahawk. fixed. And yes Milloy will always be a Patriot. HA, as far as I know he was always a starting Fullback, that doesn't make you a backup running back, just the guy that ends up blocking for the running back. Yeah, do they not have fullbacks in the CFL? Is that still around? Is Doug Flutie still the best QB in the league? Flutie and Garcia are both playing still here!!! HA. Actually they both played in Calgary. The year Alexander sat out or was injured or whatever that was,wasn't Strong the feature back? |

Got the test on Mon. since I was sick before the Baltimore Marathon, 48 hrs. Dr.'s office calls to say I have it. I can't believe I ran a marathon with strep. If I had known, I'd not have raced! I am very fortunate. Linda |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() At my tri club mtg. last night, minimalist runner, MD, and medical professor Dr. Mark Cucuzzella talked about barefoot and minimal shoe running. Here is his store's website with lots of info. on the topic. http://www.trtreads.org/Home_Page_Dev.html Click on barefoot education. This was a very intersting presentation and demonstration. He has a lot of scientific data to back up this trend. He is former Navy and works with the military men and women who fail the fitness tests and tries to help them become more efficient runners. He mentioned that people should strengthen their feet at home and at work (if possible) by remaining barefoot. He was wearing a pair of EVO's that looked just like someting men would wear at work but feel like bare feet. These minimalist shoes allow more proprioperception, which allows your feet to feel and respond to the gound. (like balance training on a Bisou with shoes) Strengthening the feet will allow the transition to Newtons or another minimalist shoe to be easier. |

So are you going to change your shoes? We are a shoes off-at-the-door family, so spend lots of time in socks and slippers. But man, after cooking dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, if I'm not wearing at least my slippers, my feet are KILLING me. I don't think it's muscles so much, as just being on hardwood floors barefoot. But maybe it is muscles? I certainly spend lots of time in minimalist sheepskin slippers!! I can't help but think that Yoga helps strengthen the feet as well. When doing any sort of balance poses, my feet are VERY active. Heck, even doing lunges, the front foot remains very active (and I'm constantly tipping over when we stand up in our lunges at Yoga). I'm in no hurry to go minimalist as I have the "if it ain't broke" philosophy. But reading Born to Run certainly makes one wonder. I'm just too chicken to try anything too drastic!! |

Can you imagine what you could have done HEALTHY?!? |

This....could very likely be the cause of This. I find that the more I keep my shoes off in the house and around the house the stronger the feet are on the roads and trails. Certainly agree with the support argument/recommendation for young children, old people and those with VERY flat feet but otherwise letting the feet get stronger by using them has REALLY worked for me and several of my running buddies....both male and female. Come on GIANTS....let's get after it.....just sayn' |

I think like everything what works for someone might not work for another person. We've grown up in shoes so to assume we can suddenly walk around without them might not be reasonable, especially with some of the issues he raised. With a 1.2cm leg length discrepancy, I'm not a candidate for it. Still not 100% sold on the Newtons, but it's only been three weeks of slowly breaking them in. |

Most flats seem to provide some sort of support/cushioning, they're just a ton lighter and don't provide as much padding as "trainers" Minimalist is using vibrams and similar types isn't it? |
