Friday run in DC

So who enjoys running in weather that changes by the day

So far we have been faced with temp swings of 30 or more degrees and if your like me the body is none to happy with this.   I am not sure what you do other then dress appropriately and just go out and run.

Looking forward my next run no matter what the temp

Fall is here if just for the day and I confess....OMG I FEEL LIKE SUCH A

Got that 1st Fall run in today and gotta say that skipping my run on Monday cuz the weather was abysmal and I was just not ready to pull out anything more then the spring rain gear.

Now for the confession

I run in fivefingers and I love it.........If you haven't  tried these shoes I can only say that if adding more strength to your foot, ankles, knees, hips, making your pelvic girdle tuck in, and  add more power to your spine is not intriguing then don't try them on let alone run in them..

First time running in them was pretty much OMG I FEEL LIKE SUCH A

HOWEVER, by the time I was two miles into the run........................ some how was transported back  in evolution to being a just man running without shoes across the landscape. I find my self looking for grass to run on to feel the grip of my toes in the earth thrusting into the grass digging in and pushing my feet forward.

It took about about three runs to get back to what I like to call my running floor.   What's that....it the minimum I have to be able to run and will do anything to keep this floor from falling below.So if I go two day or 20 days I have to be able to slide into these shoes which I lovelingly refer to as feet condoms, and go run 6 miles.

 I dont care if the run is hard and time is long  I have to be able to run 6 miles. 

Is this just me.....Does anyone else have a running floor? Comment back and I am always looking for other runners in socailmedia. So there you have it I run in vibram's fivefingers and it's got to be a long run anything under an hour of running is a quickie.

Thinking about doing a run on Friday anyone want to join me...It's going to be 6 miles @ a minimum.

Runner are sough

If your a DC runner and you want to be a part of this #socialmediamentary then please by all means dive in and be part of this multidisciplinary undertaking of using social media to document mine and others like me's obsession with running.

So if your on the Twitter follow @dcruns  which has a great running culture actively on it and we'll plan to mine this for all kinds of fun.    How to do twitter/gps runs.    Even to how to use twitter to find other runner or new places or races in the DC area.   BTW the kids call the Metropolitcan Area the #dmv so all that hash (#) and #dcruns to your and get on this grand journey.

 Clearly we have a blog and if you have a blog link to our dcruns.blogspot.com and we'll link back.which for some of us was how the internet and started. ((((Really by blog on about it when U can too))))))))) Which brings me to the next area of our interaction.

We are going to be inserting the camera into all kinds of running situation in DC. from our Best races, to LIVE interviews while running.  Yep live/ taped/found ((((( interviews))))))) with anyone that we can find that is part of the DC running culture.  Think about this.....Think about capturing dc running in any and all situation and who knows.  

Live Interviews while running,  How about a great run broadcast on Ustream, Where already planning pod cast of celebrity running and by celebrity where talking about times or miles  no glitter joggers. Again Who knows what we can do until we put the 1st foot forward.

 We also hit up all the other social media sites so if your on one let us know and we'll friend up and make ourselves a SocialMediaMentary of DC Running. we don't know em all but we'll make the strides necessary to find where DCRuns online.

FYI will try as hard a possible to run as many puns or inside sneaker jokes as possible.......#justsayin
