From Shoes to Bare Feet?
As I was taking a jog with Gavin the other evening, I seriously started to consider running barefoot…… Yes you heard it right, BAREFOOT. Now many would consider these people who run around in the wet and cold completely insane. However, I think the structure of my body would allow me to run much further and without pain with no shoes. It seems to be a bit of an oxymoron. How could running barefoot help your feet? I have no idea. I am no expert in any of this. However I know when I am barefoot running other places it’s been much more comfortable for me. I know it’s a big trend too. To be clear: I am not a band wagoner. I actually try not to be one of those on purpose. So does anyone have or know someone who has transitioned to barefoot running? I need some tips if this is something I will actually try. Or does anyone know of the foot coverings one would use to make you feel more like barefoot running? Thanks for any tips or suggestions. I know I am pretty much insane for thinking of doing this, but one of my goals is to actually be able to run further distances without my feet causing me pain.

I can't imagine it, but I've heard from many people that it's the way to go. They make special shoes that are kind of like "Aqua-Socks" if you remember what those look like. Vibram Five Fingers is one kind. Next time you see Jess, ask her--Dave does barefoot running, I think. I know he has some of the five-finger shoe things.
Thanks Jen! I was thinking I had seen something like that somewhere but wouldnt know the name. I am a bit crazy but shoes truly hold me back. Its odd I know!
