Ooh, I didn’t realize that I’d gotten a personal mention. I’ll have to look into this ‘pose’ thing before you go and catch me. Though, the last time I tried to change my running form, I ended up with sciatica.

Yup, form is king when it comes to running. Of course, we may disagree somewhat on what the correct form might be, but I think we both agree that if you get your form down pat everything else will follow!

You should see Mark’s feet. They are in better condition than mine even though I give myself pedicures. Maybe the barefoot thing isn’t such a freek thing??

Work sucks! Sorry to hear it’s getting to you. Have you bought a lottery ticket?

A run is a good way to relieve work or any kind of stress. However sometimes when work sucks the best thing to do is forget about the part that sucks and think about what you get from having a crappy job. Try to turn it around, not always an easy thing to do. But gov job usually pays not bad which means you get to afford a comfortable lifestyle. It usually means reasonable hours so you have time for family and of course running. Now depending on if you are in the union or management it may also mean perks or benefits like lots of vacation time where you can get away and forget that it sucks to be there.

I did 8 years with gov in BC. Some good and some bad. And when finally offered a way out I took it. Tis how I ended up in Calgary and that seems to have been a wise move.
And most of all as my hubbys says when you leave the office leave all that crap there, no need to take it home and stew about it just let it all go.

You know, there’s a new Nike commercial right now in the US. It’s for these shoes, but the guy’s running barefoot across the beach, chariots of fire playing in the background, when he’s suddenly brought back to reality by a bus grinding across his path. Turns out he was running on the sidewalk in the city with his fancy red Nikes, but it *felt* like he was running barefoot on the beach. See? The tagline is “Run Barefoot” and I think of you every time I see it. That’s all!
