Primal


Bare
Foot
Running
Its the way forward
There are some things that don't need an urban evolution.
Quite a lot of things actually....but where money can be made Nike know no bounds! The advantages and theories behind barefoot running are heavily documented, for some of us it holds pleasure and challenge and for others it never will yet what i simply cannot quite believe is that for years the fitness industry has been blinkered from this wealth of information by the sports shoe aggressive marketing ploys.
In coaching courses we are taught to teach running techniques that were sold to us by these capitalist pigs....strike with your heel, send shock waves through your body in a way it is not designed to withstand and cause damage to the knees so predictably that if you don't at least have an arthroscopy on both knees as a regular runner by your forties you'll be a runner's anomaly!

The hound and I around

WEATHER: Overcast and threatening
SEASON: Spring
TIME: Lunchtime midweek
PURPOSE: None
RESULT: A number of unanswered questions arose
CONCLUSION: Attempt to resolve questions and pay more attention to surroundings in future

The first thing you notice at the moment is the colour of the lagoon water in West Hove. It looks like liquid rust, its been this way for the past few weeks:


Although doesn't seem to be affecting the wildlife:


On the prom I noticed the fishing and/or sailing club AKA 'private late night drinking den' has finally bought some fishing boats in a transparent attempt to mask its real purpose:


A paddle boarder is spotted, having tried this a couple of times last summer I thought rather impressive considering the swell today:


Pepe sights prey:


But gets left for dust as his arthritis prevents him from moving around too fast:


Used to being faster than 'em all i decide he must feel demoralised and in need of a warm sofa so we turn tail for home....not before spotting a bit of wood that can only have been used for one purpose:


....THE END
