yes, I know, therein lies the joke. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 27, 10:43 14
- I'm not saying everyone has to be barefoot, at all. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 27, 10:44 13
  - I think barefoot running is great for the natural running form, but it would have to be done on carefully controlled conditions. - Beryllium Sep 27, 10:45 12
    - also ... about the beach. soft sand is pretty hard to run on actually, plus it can hide glass - loosilu at work Sep 27, 10:46 8
      - I'm thinking of two local beaches in particular, when I suggest beach running. - Beryllium Sep 27, 10:49 5
        
        I love kirsten gum's treasure hunting shows. she did one on sea glass - zork Sep 27, 10:51
        
        ooh, nice. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 27, 10:49 3
        
        And the sand is packed enough to run on - you kick up a bit of muddy sand, I guess, but it's better than actual sand running. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 27, 10:50 2

        weirdly enough, the hardest surfaces are the easiest to run on. concrete and asphalt. - loosilu at work Sep 27, 10:51

    - that's what I'm doing now. I'd like to swtich to thin shoes after I learn better form. The hardcore folks go barefoot everywhere. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 27, 10:46 2
      - maybe they just can't afford sneakers. -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 10:47 1
        
        not these folks. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 27, 10:48
