Running is not an impact activity. Impact comes from falling, not from running.

Learn to run with your hips engaged so that you don't carelessly drop your other foot onto the ground with every step. Keep your cadence high enough and your stride length short enough that your flight time is too brief for gravity to accelerate you toward the ground. Then you will experience no impact forces when you land.

How do you learn this? Your bare feet will be more than happy to teach you.

Late Onset Alzheimers: The result of natural selection among neurons in our brains when we fail to provide them with the right environment and stimulation (nutrition, exercise, etc.).

Using the principle of natural selection, researchers have outlined a new model of the disease suggesting that mitochondria — power plants for cells — might be at its center.

This is what it means to combine technological advances + respect for our naturally evolved habitat and co-inhabitants. Economical natural sweetener: solved. Bee endangerment (and consequent threats to our agriculture): solved. Simple and effective cooperation with our complex, biodiverse environment. Incredible.

It is so much easier on the beekeeper and so much easier on the bees.

Burien, WA (near Seattle) has instituted a city-wide ordinance against a number of "behavior[s] that [are] 'unreasonably disruptive to other users'” in public spaces, in which they include "wearing insufficient clothing for the location’s use (e.g. no top, no bottom, no shoes)." Bob Neinast summarizes the situation in his blog today and provides contact information, and advice, for urging the Burien city council members to reconsider this ordinance. If you believe that going barefoot is a healthy personal choice that has no justification for being considered "unreasonably disruptive," please consider constructively sharing your perspective with them.

Burien, WA is a suburb of Seattle. In August they passed an ordinance that essentially bans people from any conduct that is "dangerous, unsafe, illegal, or unreasonably disruptive" on all city prop...
