I've already met a few of you, thanks to IBRD, so a formal introduction is now far overdue. I've been running since about 1996 and only discovered barefoot running less than a year ago. Running shod, I was plagued with chronic hip and achilles injuries, all of which have disappeared after the switch away from traditional shoes. My transition hasn't been easy, however, as I recently suffered two metatarsal stress fractures from a classic case of too-much-too-soon.
I'm a marathoner and usually log 60-70 miles/week. Right now, I'm only logging about half that, as I'm trying to recover cautiously from my last fracture. Roughly 1/3 of my mileage is bare, the rest minimalist.
I usually run solo, but still love to connect with like-minded runners on occasion. I also walk barefoot 99% of the time, so if you stumble across a barefoot girl in Hillcrest, stop and say hi - it's probably me
