Barefoot (actually barefoot not barefoot shoes) ran on pavement for first time a couple nights ago. 3/4 of a mile in 5 minutes so a decent pace. Had to stop because of a blister.
Any tricks to preventing/dealing with blisters until the dogs callus up? [Reply]

What kinda GEAR you run to make sure your butthole looks buff? [Reply]

You post in jest but there's a very popular and well-attended naked bike ride in Portland. It's been around for decades. It's literally a long bike ride all around town, far enough and arduous enough that you really need to train for it, where every person is butt naked riding a damn bicycle.
I'm from Portland as a few close friends and allies here know. I worked with a guy that actually did the naked bike ride once. He said he felt ashamed of himself by the time it was over and that he'd never do it again. [Reply]

Goddamn that town needs a tanker or two full of fentanyl dumped in the water supply. Disgusting people [Reply]

That wouldn't have the effect you're thinking of because basically the whole local population would already have such a high tolerance for opiates, they'd love that water.
The one nice thing about Portland was that the "keep Portland weird" naked bikeride, violent hippie type of crowd predominantly lives on the East Side (of the river splitting the city that's a pain in the ass to cross because of traffic). The west side is where Nike and Intel are, as well as a bunch of other tech companies, and it's more of a rich soccer moms driving BMW SUVs type of crowd. I was west side the whole time, but I have to admit that the east side had the more compelling restaurants/bars. The west side was more chain places.
Highest per-capita strip club ratio of any city in America, too, by a comfortable margin. They had so many (all fully-nude, which I later learned was pretty rare) strip clubs up there, there were sub-genres. Your average Kansan would be appalled. If you're into goth/punk type chicks for example, you go to Union Jack's where every dancer had many tattoos and piercings. Like half their body. If you wanted a salad bar and a steak, you'd go to the Acrop. Ghetto chicks shaking dat ass, you go to the Boom Boom Room. If you're under 21 but over 18, there's Jiggles. Full on paid-sex, you go to a "private lingerie show" place which were never far away. Just an adult club for every mood you could possibly find yourself in! [Reply]
I have the soft feet of a newborn baby. I can't even walk across our patio barefoot when I'm taking out the trash. If it's not carpeted, tiled, or hardwood, I'm wearing shoes. [Reply]
I used to when I was a kid but not on streets. I ran at Southwest High School's dirt track back in the 80s. It was really nice at the time. A bunch of neighbors kept it grubbed, raked, and tamped. [Reply]

I swear there was a guy posting in one of the workout threads who was running barefoot. It was some years ago and there's no way I'll be able to come up with his name. I think in the end he screwed up his feet. [Reply]
