I have been reading a book that has been really exciting. Its called Born To Run. If you are at all interested in running you should read this book. This book has inspired me to start integrating some barefoot running into my normal routine to help strengthen my lower body. Since its very difficult on your feet to go from 27 years of wearing shoes to running barefoot, I picked up these goofing hippie looking shoes to help the transition. I did a couple short jogs tonight to try them out and it was very interesting. My form changed completely and I’m using muscles which have been dormant for years. I don’t see myself running a half marathon with these anytime soon but I am excited that I didn’t feel any pain from my knee or back during those short runs.
