Hi Everyone
I have always, as far back as I can remember, walked around house and garden barefoot. Apart from work I wear merrel sandals rest of the time. Due to achillies pain I stopped running a fews years ago. As is often the case I hear, I read born to run and felt a buz again. In january thjs year started fo run using merrel road gloves. Had to periodically stop due to calf pain. Found this forum and read about calf injuries and now understand where I went wrong. TMTS as you say.
I am happy to say I went out today and put my merrels in a backpack and took the dog ( my running mate ) out for a barefoot run /walk. Managed about 100feet running on tarmac twice with merrels on rest of time.
Big smile on my face.
Wife and kids at door when I got back, to see if I was ok was a picture.
Looking forward to the chatter on here.
