A runner friend of mine gets this mailer sent to him by St. Peter's University Hospital.
The lead story on the Community Calendar in this mailer for April (I have been meaning to post this for a while...) was titled "FOR FEET'S SAKE".... Well, he read it and thought of me, because of one of the points that jumped out at him....
Thankfully, the same feature is on their web site.
The article begins with, "Spring is here, which means days are becoming longer, flowers are sprouting, and your feet are longing to get out of the heavy winter shoes you've been wearing." ...looks promising, eh?....
...but the 4th bullet says, "PROTECT THEM: Never walk barefoot indoors or outdoors. It puts you at risk for injury and infection."
LOL

I read that and immediately think they're doing CYA for the diabetics who receive it.
could you imagine never feeling grass or sand between your toes??
Hey :)
I've been running now for 5 months and after a 6 mile run two days ago my left hip/knee and my right foot is hurting. I saw something about running barefoot on a forum I visit and decided to google it. I found your blog and figured I'd say hi. I'm psyched about starting running barefoot a bit on grass in a week or so, as soon as this pain in my foot clears up.
