Remember that barefoot running interview I did (I think) in September? Well, it airs tomorrow morning – Friday, October 28/2005 at 8:15 a.m. Mountain Standard Time.
The interview is on CKUA radio and here’s the link to the live broadcast. You need Windows Media Player to listen.
Sheesh. I hope I don’t sound like an idiot!
Yup. I’ve got that whole ankle/leg/shin-splint issue figured out. It was definitely the pronating on my right foot that was the problem. Ran again tonight with Aaron keeping the focus (again) on making proper contact with the ground. The pose felt good and the pain I had is all but gone.
The only discomfort I have is some muscle soreness in my right foot – undoubtedley because I’m working “rightey” in a different way than it is used to.
I’m thinking this latest tweak to my form is going to take a couple of weeks. I’m way happy and looking forward to a winter of fine tuning followed by a spring and summer of rockin’ racing.
Woohoo!
I hadn’t planned on it, but today I went for a 30 minute jaunt in the river valley.
Today’s focus was entirely on form. I wouldn’t allow myself to deviate at all from proper foot contact and from lifting my heel quickly and cleanly from the ground.
Guess what? My leg and ankle feel better tonight than they have for quite some time following a run.
The further along I get on this journey to re-engineer my form, the more I realize form is everything.
I blatantly ripped this page off from Matt – the main dude behind WordPress.

There are several ways to syndicate/subscribe to the content here. One of the list below should suit you. If not, let me know and I?ll see what I can do.
First things first. Here’s my RSS feed.
I also have an Atom Feed but the RSS one is better. If you currently use the Atom feed, here’s a great reason to switch to the RSS feed: The link to my comments is embedded in the RSS feed so being subscribed to it means you are once click closer to commenting on my posts than you would be using the Atom feed.
Speaking of comments, here’s the RSS feed for the comments left on this blog.
And, for those inclined to use them, here are some subscription tools:
Now that I’ve given you the tools to do it, how do I feel about syndication? A long time ago Jeffrey Zeldman said something to this effect:
Q: If you offered an RSS feed, I could read your stuff without visiting your site.
A: If you stored your groceries on the sidewalk, we could eat your food without sitting across the table from you.
I’m not going to force you to, but come sit at my table and we can have a jolly good time.
