Rest Day at Half Moon Outfitters
To celebrate rest day, I went over there after work to buy "Born to Run" which Dan had lent me and I had already read, about barefoot running. Talked with him for a while and got him to autograph a copy for your mother. I told him I had already read it and how much it has turned around the way I think about and do running, me, after being back in 1974 one of the first people I knew to buy the Nike ST1000 which started the whole cushioned sole bullshit. Didn't understand in the 70's whilst running in Maine why I was having knee problems and had to go down to Deaconess Hospital in Boston to see Dr. MacGregor to help me along. Anyway, it is a great read and helps understand why constraining the feet from doing what they were formed to do is nonsensical. Anyway, fun time.

excellent, have you tried running in your vibram shoes yet?
ReplyDeleteYes. It is a totally new thing, like running on the beach. I put a post up on facebook about it last sunday. I cannot tell you how the freedom feels. It's like when I was a kid running in the grass in the neighborhood. Get some. Do not delay.
