If in preparation for a 10K run I tied my shoelaces together, would I need a long ride on the short bus?

J, long time no see! You have been missed by me. So here I am supposed to be working, and instead I am contemplating the reflection pool at the Taj Mahal and the improbability of your question.\n\nSo, here's my answer==> not if you then slung your shoes around your neck and ran in your socks!\n\nDang, I have got so brilliant since you saw me last.\n*big sappy grin*\n\n(psst...got to be careful not to "chat". Jimbo72 got thrown out and lost all his points.\nBut, yeah, I been on too much. But you can still pick me best! ahahahahah! I am not jaded.and I will thank you. LOL)

Read this in "Blondie" this morning.\n\n"I was in such a hurry that I put my shoes on first, then my socks. I had to stop to put them on correctly."

why dont you run?  2 miles isint that far, should take like 20-min max.

yes, and especially if I was in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation so that I could get away... I'm not a fast runner or very strong so it would probably be my only chance.. or for saving little kittems from being run over or something like that... Wouldn't do it to often though because you would end up looking older than you are...

No the shoe would be too tight and hinder proper circulation in the foot

No.  You COULD get hit by a runaway bus.

I thought you meant time of day to run a 10 miler, for a training run. running at least 55 minutes is competitive and will do you good in a road race. however, if you want to place, and you are running say, the cherry blossom 10-miler, it helps to be incredibly fit, kenyan, and at the peak of your season. Just go out, have fun. Whatever you run, that's your 10 mile time. Do another ten mile race about 1-2 months later and try to improve YOUR time. Stop tryin to run other peoples times. Thats what i do.\n\nthefeisyguy

A walking boot is like a ski boot from your foot to just below your knee.  It is something that you can take on and off to allow you to take a shower.  Do not put weight on it without the boot on - you could cause further damage to the area!\n\nIf you right foot had the cast on, it would not be a good idea to drive.  You can't move your ankle so would be pushing directly from your hip; that will lead to an accident as you won't have the same amount of control.  You could drive if it was your left foot.  However, I would not advise either.  If you were stopped by the police, you could potentially loose your license as you are not fit to drive in their eyes.  Also, if you are on any pain medication that may cause drowsiness, you could put yourself at risk of an accident.  If the police then did a blood test, you could easily loose your license - really not worth the risk!\n\nGood luck!

Go to a shoemaker and have him replace the ties with a zipper.  Sorry to hear that it is so much of a chore to tie and untie your running shoes.  Basically they are made to be used with laces, to be adjusted to a comfortable fit.

The previous guy is basically right.  Build up some general fitness.  Try cycling or something else aerobic for 20-30 minutes on the days that you aren't running.  You may want to work in something faster around 2-3 weeks before you're timed for your mile.

After the amount of other training you are doing don't overdo it, but you should aim to do it in under 5 min. I used to do a lot of rugby and cycling and my best ever 1500m was 4.26 at Crystal Palace
