I ran to the bathroom and back during a commercial break while watching the US women's beach volleyball match last night...I think it may have been close to a personal best![]()

Pancho, I bought a $15 cheapy running stroller off Craigslist a few years ago, and would push my daughter just before she turned 1 year-old. It is definitely a bit of a different run while pushing something. The balance is something you don't really think about until you are holding onto something. I used to do the 4-mile run with her in that, and she would just fall asleep.
"There are no finger prints under water."
Except for the part where you are sweaty and out of breath. You approach a lady sweaty and out of breath without a stroller full of baby, and without running attire, and you are getting a face full of mace.
Most importantly, I would never look at another woman, ever.

3.2 miles in 30:34. I'm back up to my normal distance; now it's back to getting back to my usual speed and doing it 4-6 days a week.
Hmmm. I used to run a lot (it was kind of "encouraged" in the Corps), but after two knee surgeries, back surgery, and ruptured Achilles tendon repair, I get way too gimped-up if I run. I really liked trail-running though. I'm not tough enough to run barefoot, but you've got me thinking about those queer-looking toe-shoes. Thanks for the thread, good idea!
If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.
Pancho if you want someone that would slow you down (I hate running) but I need to do more of it... I'm in Englewood and wouldn't mind joining up on say a tues/thur.. the only problem is my schedule is chaos at best.. so I never know when/if I could do it..
Running is the bane of my existence! I hate it as if it were a liberal!
I did recently get a pair of innov-8 195's, which are very minimal shoes that I seem to like running in better than running shoes.. but they're great for crossfit, even though I need some oly shoes.
I think I can do 3 miles in 30m. Last time I did 3 miles we did squats and I was doing 3x5 @285.. then ran 3 miles in 33:07.. talk about hating life.![]()
If you're interested in the science behind it, and also a really neat story, pick up "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen" by Christopher McDougall. He was a runner who kept injuring himself in running shoes and also a journalist. His doc one day told him that humans just weren't designed to run; being stubborn and getting paid to find interesting stories anyway, he went in search to see if this was true.
One of the more interesting things to come from this is the earliest form of hunting, called endurance hunting. Our ancestors would literally just chase a deer or elk or whatever until the animal collapsed from exhaustion, and then just brain it with a stick or rock or whatever.
Check it out. These guys have shoes but ancient man did not, and our old hunting technique was apparently to run our prey to death:
