EZ run today with the sketch ankle and new shoes. The Merrells felt pretty solid. |

I was taunting this thread about humidity a while back but my god it sucked today. Joke's on me. |

Nice run on treadmill this morning. A fast dude on the TM next to me kept me honest, otherwise I would have slacked more than I did. |

I've been pinging back and forth between 5k and 10k runs for the last three weeks or so trying to figure out what to do with my running life. |

I can't believe I'm saying this but those sky blue Nike Zoom Flys are looking pretty enticing. Might try them on at least. |

Today's run was a brutal reminder that truly minimal shoes are a bad idea on a technical trails. My feet are a bruised and bloody mess. I'll spare you guys the photos this time. |

I ran with my phone tucked in this today and it made a huge difference in my mental game. The phone fits snug, I'm not tempting to look at it, and I can barely feel it on my hip. Not my best run on the track, but I'm finally getting back to some old numbers from when I was younger and sprier. |

Help me out here, because on my rides to and from work I see a lot of runners: Why are they flapping their arms? Or swiping their arms from side to side? Is it a stride thing? or form? It just looks odd. When I run I look like I'm dying but my arms are doing a back and forth/front to back motion, not side to side or some weird x-form like wolverine. |

| Post subject: | Re: The Running Thread |
They just have shitty form. Arm motion should be front to back. In general, if your stride/form is side to side or "hippy" you're wasting a lot of energy. |

OK. I thought maybe I was doing it wrong seeing so many people do it that way. I mean, one person looks like she's being followed by a swarm of gnats or something her arms fly so wide. |

Jesus! That's just from running, not a twist or sprain? |

No. I bashed my ankle on a rock a few days ago, then chewed up my feet even more wearing super-thin shoes on a rocky, technical trail. Basically, I'm a dumbass. |

The last time my foot looked like that I had stepped in a gopher hole wearing Keen sandals and turned it sideways. Can't imagine running on it. |

The two weeks leading up to my two consecutive rest days at the end of last week were the best running of my life. The 3 runs since then have felt like complete shit. Lesson learned, I'm never resting for more than a day again. |
