Hello from Virginia!!!My name is Chuck Richards. I gave up running a few years ago because after doing it for 20+ years in the Army, it always hurt.It was a shame because I loved the mental floss running provided. A coworker told me about barefoot running so I did the research and it looks like something I want to try. I don’t expect it to be the magic fix but if I can run again and not cripple myself then why not give it a try.I’ve been running in socks on the treadmill and it seems to be doing ok. Santa is getting me some VFF’s for Christmas. By next spring I hope to be able to do some distance. Speed was never my goal so no harm no foul.Looking forward to hearing from you. I apologize ahead of time for the truck load of questions to follow. Any suggestions for the newby????????
