January 8th

My car has new brakes!  Special thanks to V for replacing them for me and D for putting up with me.  :) Brakes and work seem like all I did today.  Hunter seems to be doing so much better, but tomorrow we shall see what his vet says.

One of the things that my son wants to do on the hike is to do as much of it barefoot as he can.  I am considering this as well.  I have been listening to a series of podcasts lately called Outside/In.  One of them dealt with running shoes, sort of.  They talked about the science and fads and reasons behind certain shoes, specifically the Vibram Five Fingers.  They also talked about the benefits of running barefoot.  It seems that each method has its own unique benefits and injuries.  Here is a Youtube video about the Barefoot Sisters.

Today my happy is that Hunter is feeling better and again my brake man.
