a burst of laughter cuts through the rhythm of falling water, as a girl runs barefoot past the shimmering curtain, her motion frozen in the split second between shadow and light.
barefoot and laughing, she races beside the glittering wall of water, each droplet catching the sunlight as the city fades behind a veil of summer spray.
No wonder your running style is different depending on which type of shoe you've got on. The difference in both weight and bulk comes out even more in this picture -- but I found this picture more aesthetically pleasing; how about you?

Oh, and Dublin Marathon? My favourite 42k so far.

A man and woman run along a roadside bicycle path. The man wears barefoot running shoes and hence uses a fore-foot strike while the woman strikes the ground heel first since a more cushioned shoe accomodates this running technique. For more information on how the toe (aka barefoot) running shoes have changed people's running style, please read, Running Shoes Changed How Humans Run, by Rachael Rettner.

Day 27 running in heaven!
I just heard about bare foot running a couple of days ago and the wonders of it so I participated, today, in some bare foot running. I ran about a mile and a half not too much but boy, was is great! I felt like I could run for so much longer and I got a lovely burning in my ankle which was unexpected. It just felt like a got a much better work out in my feet and ankles and just over all and it was just more fun than running with shoes!
Winter ice and solid rock scar my bare soles. Rough cracked heels are a badge of honor

These were after days of barefooting in gravel, dirt, sticks, thorns, stone, ice, asphalt for many kms. My tough soles withstood all aside from some minor scratches you can see.
perhaps this is a new kind of meditation and/or challenge to physical pain. I could not believe my eyes.
I love to run. It is a great outlet for me. I've never really run so i can eat more ;) But I do run so I'm a much nicer person :) The repetition of thud thud thud breathe, thud thud thud breathe.... it both quiets my mind and let's it roam at the same time. A couple of years ago I really hurt myself running. I had a hefty dose of tendonosis on my hip which wasn't really solved with 6 months of PT. So i just stopped running. And i picked up my camera ;) lol. About 6 months ago I started running again. Slower this time. Not as often. Not nearly as far. And I have really enjoyed being back in the game. But my hip is starting to hurt again; and i really don't want to be back in the place I was a year and a half ago.
So today I went out to see about these barefoot runners I've heard about.... suppose to be a better way of running. more on your feet and calves; less on your hips and knees. They are strange! You have to put your individual toes into each finger slot. I don't really dig this part very much. But they are very comfortable. You're not suppose to run in them right away. You are suppose to wear them for up to 3 hours a day to get yourself used to them... used to using those different muscles. And let me tell you... my feet and calves are really sore already today. I really hope these work for me. I hate to think old age is wearing me down ;)

July 29. It got late tonight and I hadn't shot anything and I'm tired so I walked into my kitchen, grabbed my shoes, and snapped a few shots. I'm thoroughly happy with how this (and the alternate) turned out. Nike has made an appearance in my project before.

B800 @ 1/16 into medium softbox directly above shoes triggered with PC sync
B800 @ 1/16 into 60"x30" softbox camera left (slave)
ABR800 camera right @ 1/16 for fill (slave)
580exii w/ 1/8" grid camera left (lighting tread of back shoe) triggered with skyports
The filth & abrasions are from all the twigs, branches, rocks, gravel, mud, dirt that I walked through. Firmly embedded into the callous cracks throughout my feet.
The soles were so thick it felt like I had a thin layer of leather underfoot most of the time.
