Next time, don't hit your camera, you should instead hit a stone wall; it's a lot more efficient in breaking your hand, plus you wont fuck up your camera.

jog home ~1.5 miles:
- ok i guess it got interesting here, stopped trying to jog like a kenyan, went back to whitey style
- whitey style = keeping knees low, upping stride frequency, staying on mid-ball of foot
- i felt way less winded this way, foot didnt collapse as much, and i actually was going faster
- i wasnt dead at the end either, could have kept running

Yeah, this makes sense. Kenyans can run like Kenyans because they're Kenyans and that's how they've run their whole lives. Trying to change your technique on something like that, especially while trying to land forefoot/point your toes, is not necessarily better at all. The Science of Sport guys have an interesting thing to say about this: Basically, the conclusion they reached is that you should run in the way that feels most relaxed/natural and should absolutely not overthink your footfall because you end up with tense feet. Tense feet = bad news. If that means low knees, mid-ball footfall, short quick strides, and you get no pain from it, then roll with that. Your gait is going to change naturally depending on speed, footwear, whatever, but you shouldn't necessarily try to force a radical change.

Seem tight. Might have to get a pair cause FiveFingers are kinda out for me at the moment. I'm accumulating so many shoes I feel like a girl. If you had told my 18-year-old self that when I was 23, I'd have six pairs of shoes and seriously be contemplating three or four replacement/new pairs, my 18-year-old self would have punched, um, myself.

Or something.

what basketball shoes andrew?
