Fun Run
(v.redd.it)
That went way better than I thought it would
🫣🫣🫣😱 .. Oh... Oh cool. Anxiety lvls back to normal.
I completely agree. When I was a kid there was a slide in a playground that had rollers. Someone showed me how to hold onto a bar and run on the rollers. Well I slipped and smashed my face into the rollers losing a front tooth. Many thousands later and I was a kid under to witha root canal and a false tooth. It's still holding strong.
I had one of these near my old neighborhood, it was built as part of a playground for kids. Years back, we used to play a game, where 2 or more people would stand on it, trying to stay up. It was fun.
What is that thing designed to do? I would imagine not that
It is literally just play equipment and I've never seen anyone use it this well. Mostly it's just a disappointing 0.5 seconds of trying to stay on.
I think small kids are meant to sit on it and go for a spin?
Great, now she thinks she's invincible
I mean, she’s not wrong
How do we vote her in as president?
I would've crashed.
Guy sweeping in the background: I hate Tuesdays.
My arches hurt watching her jump off barefoot
Perpetually barefoot person here. Your feet start to heal and become normal again after you stop wearing shoes all the time. They can withstand jumps like this.
Ex-Perpetually barefoot person here. For some people, it works the opposite way!
What happened to you? Just curious and don't want to disregard your experience. It helped me immensely.
The short answer is plantar fasciitis.
With respect, I hope this doesn't open a door of treatment strategies or anything. But to cover: I'm on year 5 of it. I've been doing all the things. The people in my life used to laugh at how often I was barefoot. My wife marveled at my insane calluses. I've always been athletic and never overweight.
But I'm supposed to have cushioned supports until it heals. Which it refuses to do.
Yeah it can run in families sadly, from what I was told it can really depend on your ankle shape and how your weight is distributed on your foot.
My dad always warned me about wearing unsupported shoes like vans, converse, campers but I never listened, my younger cousin got the same thing only at a much younger age from being in the military hiking with gear all the time
My dad and all my siblings have had it too. Ugh
For me the pain got really bad after I went mostly barefoot and wore leather slippers on a week long camping trip, my heels and ankles were hurting so bad it was hard to walk, after limping along like that for a while my arches started to hurt so I went to a foot guy who got me some support soles and stiff shoes with lots of laces to help keep my foot together while at work, it's been getting better but not good enough to go barefoot yet, that is the end goal but doesn't seem within reach any time soon
Ah, gotcha. I have to agree with the other person that responded to you. The type of recovery I'm talking about happened several years after being barefoot near 24/7. The foot shape actually changes, the muscles get stronger, skin gets thicker, etc.
A week going barefoot in a hostile environment with already damaged feet would just make them worse, like in your case.
Shoes ruined the connective tissue in your feet. It's the unfortunate way most people end up needing orthotics.
Everyone reading: start stretching and strengthening your feet, go barefoot where you can. Foot pain affects everything above it and you don't want to be the person who can't walk 100ft without their special shoes (which themselves are amazing since they can actually treat these issues at all, before anyone thinks I'm just anti-everything).
It's important to learn about other things that can cause it like pronation before you just start going barefoot though as that can accelerate damage, I wish I knew that before
Its probably something soft as its a playground
I've seen too many people eat shit to expect this
If I tried this I would fall hit my head on the spinny thing and instantly die
