If you haven't read this book, YOU NEED TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I blew through it in two days (it generally takes me a month or so to finish a book). The author, Christopher McDougall, makes the case that we are genetically inclined to be runners while telling of his experience with Caballo Blanco and a tribe in Mexico known Tarahumara. The Tarahumara Indians are a running tribe that have races that last multiple days and go for hundres of miles.
I don't want to give too much away about this book, but please go and pick it up. You will not be dissapointed.
I am still struggling with some pain in my left foot. I've learned my lesson about getting into barefooting, TAKE IT SLOW! Unfortunately my 10 mile race at the beginning of May is starting to look doubtful but this hasn't stopped me from exercising. Barefoot Benny is kicking my butt, but I am already to see a difference in my body and my energy level is through the roof.
Take your shoes off, and go have some fun!
