| Introduction | Inspiration came to me in the form of some ridiculous looking “toe-shoes.” My family is very active and even though I served my time in the Marine Corps, I somehow missed the athletic train. I could run as long as there was someone pushing me but I never enjoyed the experience. I’ve struggled with weak ankles and no amount of expensive shoes and endless stretching made them strong. This is where my barefoot odyssey started. I came across Vibram Five Fingers and after some research I decided to set my toes free. I didn’t buy them with the intention of becoming a runner but after reading “Born to Run” by Christopher McDougall I couldn’t help but be inspired. So here I am, a self proclaimed couch potato turning into a barefoot runner. This blog is my place to track my runs, document my achievements, and hopefully encourage someone else to embark on this barefoot journey. |
