I just finished reading Chris McDougall's book, Born to Run. What a great read for anyone, but especially for us runners. I decided to make the plunge and try barefoot running. I went to the local outdoors store and purchased a pair of Vibram Fivefingers. This morning was my first attempt on a .6 mile trail around our property. I'll have to say it was at least a lot of fun. There was a feeling of being connected to the earth that I don't get on the road. I'm a little more sore afterward, but I think I'll build more of these barefoot trail runs into the week.
I've been running the road in some new Newtons. Love them. Legs doing great.
