Barefoot Running

Barefoot Running

Ok, here’s the deal. Lucas told be about this style of running. Something about some indians from Mexico. Anyways, I don’t have any money for running shoes so I thought I would give it a try. Here is the results of my first half mile. It’s really not that bad and my calves are sore but not a bad kind of sore. I can really see this working well once my feet have warmed up to the idea. Literally warmed up… after I ran my feet were on fire, probably has something to do with the friction. The point is you run toe to heal. Here is a link to the concept: www.runningbarefoot.org. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Getting Old

Yep, it’s that time, time to get old. I just went and shot a few hoops for about 20 minutes and now I’m tired and sweaty. This is sad. I don’t think I sweat like this after running 5 miles when I was in track. Why is it that we as Americans are over weight and out of shape. I was watching the World Cup this morning and some of these guys were in their mid 30′s. Soccer is hard. You run a lot. Like a lot. The thing that amazes me is how fast your body slows down. I mean, was high school that long ago? So, as I sit here and pant at my keyboard I try to convince myself when and what to do about it. Then comes another project, work, event, or nap… Maybe having a kid will help :)
