I recently caused a stress fracture in my foot and have been listening to Born to Run while healing and am getting all fired up about returning with a new gait.

I say: that's pretty amazing for just picking up running out of nowhere.<br /><br />Secondly, I find this whole "running barefoot" thing fascinating. I may have to give it a try. Do you ever run on pavement like that...or just on turf?<br /><br />Finally, congrats! It sounds like you're committed to your health and I think that is awesome (even if it does embarrass your kids).<br /><br />stephanie@metropolitanmama.netStephaniehttp://metropolitanmama.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-35309483048295747572009-08-07T09:15:54.584-08:002009-08-07T09:15:54.584-08:00Hey there - It is so funny you have this book on h...Hey there - It is so funny you have this book on here.
