Still on vacation

I’m still down in Florida so this week’s Love is little. I’ve barely been online at all… which is actually really nice. Next week I’ll be back in the office and have time to read up. Expect better Love and a recovery update.

A personal side note: I turned 40 this week! Happy birthday to me! Finally out of the über competitive 35-39 age group

Here’s what I’ve got this week

CNN.com: Running debate – Bare or in shoes?: This is a topic that may bore some Lymies, but it’s of great interest to me. I’ve been working on “going barefoot” for about a year now and have seen great progress and positive changes in my running since starting out. It’s a rather controversial subject within the running community. Some say barefooting is a running nirvana while others cry “bologna” and dismiss it as a fad. For the record: I’m somewhere in between.

This article on CNN.com covers the highlights and touches on some new research that’s been published. I linked to previous discussion in a past Link Love.

If anyone is interested in experimenting with barefoot running, please drop me an email. I’m planning a blog post about how to get started, but until I get that done, I can help you out via email.

USATriathlon.com: A case of diminishing skills: An interesting read about a triathlete fighting wacky testosterone levels and the inevitable results of getting older. My levels are “off”, but not to the extent that this guys were. This article reminded me that I need to go back and as my LLMD about the results again.
