Hi Mark

No she didn't run barefoot. But I did get excited about barefoot running after reading this book.

I purchased some "Vibram Five-Fingers" running shoes... they are basically a sheeth of rubber that conforms to the bottom of your foot allowing maximal contact and emulating barefoot. Even the Northern Mexico Indians in this book ran with thin rubber... you might google it.

Me too.. I can't go long distances. I hiked in them for 2 hours yesterday and have a really sore calf muscle now. I'm also planning to take it slowly to build up the muscles that I've not used since I was 5.

Have FUN.

Heidi
