So, I'm brand new to this barefoot/minimalist running thing and am quite excited about it. I've been getting psyched to get out there and try it but I just couldn't wrap my head around goose-stepping around all the goose globs, heron blobs and seagull slobs that are commonly found in the grass around Stanley Park here in Vancouver (I live right next to the park, lucky me). I do plan on practicing on the hard sand when the tide is out and on the concrete seawall. In the meantime, I splurged and bought myself a pair of Saucony Progrid Kinvara 2's. They feel like house slippers and I can't wait to get out in them. I can go on the trails, through all the globs, blobs and slobs in the grass and not worry about it. I know I need to get the stride down, but since I'm starting my running basically from scratch (haven't been doing anything for about 3 years now) I think I'll be okay. Wish me luck!
