Not Quite As Fat
In the ongoing saga of this bout of weight loss, I'm pleased to say that I am continuing to make progress, I'm just not sure how much. I got on the scale on Tuesday evening and showed an after-dinner weight of 166 lbs. I'm likely about a pound lighter than that, but I've neglected to get an early morning weight, so I can't be sure. I am still on track for 160 by year end.
Note: I weighed the morning after I posted this and was 165.5.

Scooter,
You left a comment in my Running Barefoot Blog: "From a foot health POV, what do you think of barefoot? Specifically, do you think that athlete's foot is less of a problem or about the same? Any other comments? Also, have you by chance tried Injinji's Toe Socks (the ones that look kind of like a glove for your foot)."
I have not tried the socks.
From a foot health POV, the athlete's foot is less of a problem for people who do some or all of their mileage barefoot. You don't have to take my word for it, there is now a massive amount of evidence that running barefoot strengthens the foot and makes the biomechanics of running more efficient. Running barefoot reduces the incidence of injury and sometimes even cures chronic injuries. Not only are the feet healthier, but everything from there on up gets healthier.
