Over the years I have permitted my ability to move naturally to fall by the wayside and I regret this immensely.<br /><br />I'm hoping it's not too late to regain strength, flexibility, and my full range of motion in many areas but it is not an easy process once one has let it go.Avocational Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322495001387001602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185746658033937532.post-63553276811724467122010-10-12T04:54:45.696-07:002010-10-12T04:54:45.696-07:00OK, I am going to follow your blog.

I've been quite interested in more natural approach to fitness and nutrition. Funny, what used to be natural, might look a bit strange these days.Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005438284707424779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185746658033937532.post-44442112191076300892010-10-12T01:39:32.271-07:002010-10-12T01:39:32.271-07:00Great race report, thank you.

I ha...Hi,Lauren, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I had the same idea as you, that I would start with the Vibrams. I was paranoid about stepping in something too. But as I continued to read and research, I heard that there was a danger of over-doing my training in the Vibrams because they felt <i>too</i> good, and that by going completely barefoot I would get the feedback from my feet needed to know how much is too much etc...<br /><br />It's hard to believe that this same girl, in just a few short months, has gone from someone who was paranoid about stepping in something to someone who actually stepped in some goose poop yesterday (yuccch!)<br /><br />Keep researching!Avocational Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322495001387001602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185746658033937532.post-46314125350084665452010-10-10T19:44:22.468-07:002010-10-10T19:44:22.468-07:00I'm always impressed by barefoot runners...I c...I'm always impressed by barefoot runners...I could probably get down to the vibrams level, but I'm paranoid about stepping on something. And while I'm not sure how much protection vibrams really give the foot, in my head it it makes me feel calmer about the idea.<br /><br />Anyway, neat race report - I like how the race sounds relaxed, and cool that you got to meet a couple of authors!<br /><br />I actually got to listen to a speaker once a kinesiologist maybe? anyway, he did this study about shoes and after he did this study, people should just try on the shoes that they like the best - because it was looking like different support shoes for pronation, didn't really give all that support they were claiming.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870524371068135058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185746658033937532.post-2589129036027489562010-10-10T17:22:43.722-07:002010-10-10T17:22:43.722-07:00Sounds like a fun run, and cool that you got to me...Sounds like a fun run, and cool that you got to meet two authors!!Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00472904236438692071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185746658033937532.post-22762235796218209012010-10-10T16:01:49.990-07:002010-10-10T16:01:49.990-07:00Great report and great pictures!Great report and great pictures!achttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05177599337836349850noreply@blogger.com
