    Probably because you have a good foot print. I on the other hand am required to deal with flat feet, over pronation issue.

    Just wait for someone to say it will "Stretch and use muscles you never knew you had", a la Rocky 3.

    you aint the only one, on both of my feet I have cracked skin right where my third toe meets the ball of my feet
    epsom salt and lotion are what I am trying
    also I think wearing houseshoes with no socks when you are outside is bad

    as far as swimming, I am going swimming tomorrow
    I tried to go last week but they told me I had to wear shorts or trunks to get in the pool so Ill do that this time
    I heard that rocky marciano used to practice his uppercuts underwater
    and I can really see practicing body shots under water would be great for techniqe and poweer

    Shadowboxing in a pool is something both Ali and Marciano did.

    Juan Diaz isn't the only boxer who's an avid swimmer; Dempsey did a lot of open water swimming too.

    Road work is a poison to me. Whenever I start doing it, I start falling apart - ankles, feet, knees, hips, back.

    Swimming has always been there for me. I joined a team this week for the first time in 8 years and I really can't put into words how great it feels. I'm waiting till Saturday of next week to step on the scale and find out how much weight I've lost in my first 2 weeks.

    I highly recommend joining some sort of swimming team with a structured workout. Just plodding along doing laps for an extended period of time will get boring quick and won't do as much for you. You burn a lot more calories on a team, with a structured workout, and trying to stay on pace.

    I think I am going to go to lake arlington and do a little swimming
    I hate public pools cause most wont let you swim in long pants

    long pants? :huh:
    Board shorts (surfer style swimsuit) should be more than enough drag when you're swimming, why would you want to wear anything else?

    If I go swimming as in workout (as opposed to hitting the beach) I wear something like this. I realize not everyone is as awesome looking as me but still :D
