Damage report from the lazy all-you-can-eat week...

5 pounds

Oh teh noes! Woe is me. Oh cruel world... and such people in it!

Alright, I'm over it now. To be honest I figured the number would be higher from all the fast food and generally heart disease inducing diet I had last week. Pizza and gallons of Manzanita Sol were fun for a while, but now I need something that won't give me a headache or a sugar crash. I'm also having workout withdrawals. I NEED to run for hours. Hi, my name is /0, and I'm a running addict.

Speaking of running, I'm thinking about becoming a crazy barefoot runner. I've seen a few barefooters at the races I've done, and I might start incorporating some barefoot training (or running with just socks to protect me from glass, etc.) into my routine. It's supposed to be better for you (we didn't exactly evolve with Nikes on our feet), but you have to work up to it and build the musculature that's been made weak from footwear. It's goofy, but I like goofy.

In other news, there is a super secret competition going on. True story. It started when I was thinking about what my final weight should be, and comparing myself to my brother. We're the same height, and pretty much the same muscular build, but he weighs about 150 and has six pack abs. So I figure to get my body fat to a similar level I'm going to have to be about 160. And since I know somebody else with a similar goal... CHALLLENGE!!!
[edit]
It's already on her journal so... It's lgatzke that I'm competing with.
IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!!!!!!!!!!

Uh-oh. Did I accidentally blaspheme? :P I've been looking into barefoot running for a while just because it's so hard for me to find running shoes that fit. I have goofy quadruple wide feet (size 10 EEEE), so I always have to settle for running shoes that aren't exactly what I'm looking for anyway.

okay, if it was an accident.lol wow, those are wide feet you have some grip!! who needs shoes!?

Oh my gosh that looks like such a fun birthday party/toy thing. I want to splash around with that! That's crazy about the barefoot running, but you're right about not evolving with running shoes on. I had a similar week as you did. But I'm not upset with my gain because I expected it and didn't do much to stop it. I blame it on the heat. I missed your recap on your run, but CONGRATULATIONS. I'm proud of you!! I'm rooting for you in the super secret challenge!!

@Cindy: About my feet... I have a wide understanding, it's just a long way from my head. LOL

@FPLala: Should we start rumors in the forums by announcing we're celebrating our anniversary together? :P

Haha! Yeah, his Bday party was at my aunt's house and she went WAY overboard with that thing. I will admit it was fun though. ;) The kids (and even the refuse-to-grow-up folks like me) loved it. I don't remember where she bought it (online, I think?), but I remember it was a few hundred dollars. Yikes.

Oh dang, she bought it? I thought it was a rental. I would so play in that!

Re bare feet running-it's a craze around here-mostly because we can run on the beach BUT I have seen peeps on the concrete-ouch-I can smell the flesh burning. Have you seen those new shoes that are actually shaped like a foot-with toe compartments-like feet mittens? They are supposed to be nearest thing to running barefoot without flesh hitting the tarmac.

@ Densible: Yup, they're Vibram Five Fingers. I want a pair, but they don't make them in the size I need.

I've always been a fan of shoelessness, but it gets me into trouble too much (see journal post about scorched feet). I would love barefoot shoes, if that's not too much of an oxymoron, lol.
