Hello all! My name is Don, and I'm from Montana. I've been an avid runner for several years now, but have only recently (the last 2 months) gotten into minimalist and barefoot running. After a spring and summer of stress fractures and nasty plantar fasciitis, as well as new hip and knee aches while on training runs, I am in love once again with running! I have fun running now, and go home without any hint of soreness. The world is not flat, and barefoot running is not crazy or harmful (at least not to me!).
