It seems kind of dangerous! If I'm going to try this out for real, I definitely need to do more research and get some advice! <br /><br />Amy- I'm sorry about your dog! She's all better now staying at a nice, cozy Doggie hotel :)Kelsey: the Blonde Bullethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798235426603662742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855141542006172237.post-72690753121837206152010-06-22T10:31:21.867-07:002010-06-22T10:31:21.867-07:00ha ha adventures in dog-sitting! at least you got...ha ha adventures in dog-sitting! at least you got in a little sprint workout!iheartkiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826856044690823004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855141542006172237.post-59453051303747981162010-06-20T20:18:22.840-07:002010-06-20T20:18:22.840-07:00Running barefoot beats the crap out my calves.

One thing I think you should consider is that running barefoot will show you how to run with better form. You don't have to run barefoot to run correctly, but running barefoot will force to you to run will a gait that is less prone to injury.

That made for quite the interesting night...<br /><br />...Thank goodness someone brought the dog to the police station and gave him to our friend (the police officer) who was helping us look for this dog!<br /><br />I'm sorry you had to go through this!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128157987773751672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855141542006172237.post-41570897047777174902010-06-19T19:31:28.773-07:002010-06-19T19:31:28.773-07:00Oh damn.

By now you hopefully have gotten emails with the pet sitters name & number and will soon be rid of the escape artist. However, that being said, as a fellow runner I think this is terrific information on barefoot running. Despite the inherent drawbacks think of the concentration; as you detour the glass and other road hazzards! You might forget the searing pain were it not for the AZ heat however. At least Sara got you to try something new! Funny yet? Perhaps too soon. sorry...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855141542006172237.post-33152382495942860252010-06-19T16:03:11.705-07:002010-06-19T16:03:11.705-07:00You are 100% correct, it build muscle.
