Fall 5K Change of Plans

Originally I had planned to run the Santa Monica Gobble Wobble 5K the Saturday after Thanksgiving, as did family members. This plan is no more. We will run the same day, same time, different spot. The San Dimas Turkey Trot 5K is now the race. This worked out because of location and cost, it also looks like it will be a prettier run and the website claims there is actually some dirt. Still shooting for under 20 minutes on this one and I've got to figure out how to shave a few minutes off my current times to accomplish that goal.

Runner's World Barefoot Running Forum

When I think of Runner's World, I think of mechanical, pretty boy, painful, expensive, contrived running. The covers alone make me cringe, showing airbrushed beefcakes/beefcakesses mid-stride in the ugliest heel strike landing I could possible fathom.

Needless to say, I was surprised to learn that the Runner's World website is home to an extremely helpful and comprehensive barefoot running forum.

Enjoy. Just try not to look at the pictures at the top or sides of the page.
