i got on the barefoot running train ten years ago. i remember when macdougal's book and POSE blew up and then crossfit incorporated POSE-like prescriptions because they had the ring of truth with no evidence (like the paleo diet or kelly starrett's postural purism) and it took off. then i developed osteoarthritis in my toes and stumbled off the train.
the research consensus is swinging back away from barefoot>*. there just isn't any evidence that running barefoot improves running economy or reduces injuries at a population level; in fact when i was last following the research, 4-5 years ago, seemed like barefoot running may just transfer injury risk from the knees down to the feet and ankles. for most people who grew up in shod cultures it's fine to wear shoes. there's huge variability from person to person, of course, so if running barefoot feels great for you then rock on. i'll stick with lightweight running shoes.

rondo can't shoot though. what'll happen when lebron dribbles for 18 seconds, drives, then kicks it to him?
also re: boogie, GSW could be perfect. he can spend the first 40-50 games rehabbing, the last 30-40 games playing his way into shape and cohesion with the team, and then turn them into a shapeshifting monster in the playoffs.

- run 4.72 km in 24:30
- stretch
struggle bus part the second. i slept through the night last night (woot) but i think my body is just tired. legs did not want to work. also forgot to mention last night that i left my running shoes at work so i had to use my old, very beat-up ones. makes a difference. i don't know how adarq runs so much in crushed shoes. well, i guess the grass switch probably helps but he was proudly running shoes to the soles before that iirc.

same shit last night. went to bed at a reasonable time, couldn't fall asleep, woke up around 3:30 or 4, was awake until at least around 5:30. no idea why, no obvious changes or stressors in the last couple of days.

- run 6.1 km in 33:17
left calf a little tight. not bothersome, just noticeable.
- band dislocates and pull aparts
- push ups x 20
shoulder felt good, yay
- KB paused row x 10/arm
left lat weird
- BSS x 10/leg
- stretch
meant to do 9+ but it was 39/102 and humid. slow 6 is enough. seven-day total 43.7 km. gotta do at least two two-a-days this week. maybe tomorrow, then a longer runs on tuesday and wednesday when it's supposed to be a little cooler and raining, then again on thursday. if i get lucky i'll get to go to the mountains next weekend.

i really can't wait to see how fast you can run once it's a little cooler. you should seriously sign up for some races farther north in the fall. mid-atlantic in october-november, something like that.
