Beth asked if I’m considering barefoot running now that I’ve read Born to Run. Yes, I am. For the last few days I’ve been going barefoot around the house. After only a few days my walk is changing. Even the way I stand is changing. I can feel how walking and standing impacts my feet and they are becoming more sensitive to the pressure. This summer I plan to do some barefoot tests on a soccer field by the house. I’m hoping my wife gets me some Vibram 5 fingers for my birthday.
I had a great time at the gym last night; running 4 miles without walking. Longest run so far.

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteGood job on your workouts this week!! You will have to keep us all posted on how the barefoot running works out for you. I have seen a few runners wearing the Vibram Fingers at some of the races I ran in last year:) I always wondered what it would feel like to run in them. Have a great weekend!
