Getting Better

It was chilly today. I reminded myself that I need to constantly work, not run or jog (which can be done passively and on autopilot) but work. Work Work work. So I pushed pushed and pushed until I got scared because after 21 minutes I had gone way past where I normally turn so I turned back.
At any rate, it was good to realize I am getting faster. I still have a long way to go as far as speed is concerned. So I will continue working tomorrow. Meanwhile I cant wait to see who will win between Rudisha (below), Kaki and Mlauduzi in 800m and between Dibaba and Masai in the women's 500m

Cheers

It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes clearance[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]footwear etc[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]MBT shoes[/B] more remarkable.

MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]discount mbt shoes[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]MBT[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]shoe for worked[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]footwear etc[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]shoe for worked[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]mbt sandals[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]mbt shoes review[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.

The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]mbt shoes review[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]MBT[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.

The makers claim that this natural instability [B]MBT shoes[/B] strengthens the muscles, increases muscle activity, calorie [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] burn and blood circulation. They also say that it reduces the shock forces [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] on joints which help prevent a variety of degenerative muscular and skeletal problems [U][B]mbt walking shoes[/U][/B] including back pain.
