Sort of "shuffle" run, very flat-footed, not even really picking up your feet. And get some "barefoot" style shoes, like the Minimus ones made by New Balance that someone suggested above.

My running-with-dog approaches have (successfully) included the following: run places that off-leash dogs are allowed.

I think I'm hitting a metabolically tough age (36) and I like food too much. So I can't advise there except to say that you shouldn't look at the scale but at the fit of your clothes. First of all, day to day, weight fluctuates back and forth a few pounds without much meaning; second of all, lean Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13440658754416289147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-12673939017245607852012-10-08T10:40:51.923-04:002012-10-08T10:40:51.923-04:00To everybody: Run SLOWLY, SLOWLY, SLOWLY...start w...To everybody: Run SLOWLY, SLOWLY, SLOWLY...start with jog alternating with brisk walking.

That said, I'm a huge fan of Pale/Primal diets, which are basically no grain diets and are the only sustainable method of weight loss I've found. I lost ~70 lbs a couple years ago, moved and was too broke to do Paleo, so I gained some back and now have lost it again.<br fuzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324130222099067611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-80882188279942823072012-10-07T11:11:38.518-04:002012-10-07T11:11:38.518-04:00For the person who wants to run with the dog, firs...For the person who wants to run with the dog, first a question: Does your high energy dog *walk* well on the leash now? Or is your dog constantly pulling, darting this way and that after cats/squirrels/other dogs/etc? If the dog doesn't already walk well on the leash, you need to get that down before you can expect the dog to run well on the leash. At least that's been my experience OMDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937425894428802591noreply@blogger.com
