    There are two runners.

    One guy wears minimalist shoes, and complained his feet hurt all the time.

    One woman has run 1,000 miles using just one pair of shoes, and complains her feet are in pain.

    Should you point out the obvious? Asking for a friend.

    *bursts out laughing and goes to bed!*

    *!dew claws up!*

    Have to share this and I don’t know where else, so you guys get it.

    Today’s my one year anniversary of logging in daily on mfp. I haven’t always tracked calories, but I always logged in. I also hit 10K steps for the day. Just gonna do a little happy dance over here.

    YAY! Well done!

    0808-8.7k, total-14k, goal-80.5k

    Regular 7.5km loop plus a bunch of striders. I know it must've been hot and humid because my glasses were fogging up, but it didn't really register. Maybe I've finally (finally!) gotten acclimated to the heat?

    @eponine1984 great job!

    Upcoming races:
    20181027 Mogan Ultra 30k
    20181118 Shanghai Marathon (maybe)

    @PastorVincent dew claws are like thumbs on some dog breeds and i believe all cats. On dogs they are often removed since there is the risk of them getting caught and torn off. On dogs, i dont think theres even a bone in there. Cats on the other "hand" 😂have fully functional dew claws. Google can show you a pic if interested.

    Soooooo ummm "dew claws up" like a thumbs up then?
