Where to Start!

I used to love to run when I was young. There were several times when I would knock on a stranger's door and ask to use the phone to call my parents. Sometimes I wouldn't even know where I was and have to get the person to tell my parents how to get there. I never thought about hydration or snacks or anything. I would head out in the morning and just go until it started to get dark. I do not know when that side of me disappeared, but it was a loss that I never felt as much as when I started to run again. I suppose the runs started getting cut short as driving became available and friends wanted to do things all the time. There was never a clear thought to stop running it just happened. Now a quarter of a century later I am starting from scratch. You would think it would be easy, but nothing is ever easy. There are pitfalls and all manner of things that can derail you quickly from the beginning. I decided to run barefoot/minimalist because of my girlfriend. I have never liked shoes and have been in VFFs since they were first sold. This allowed me to help my girlfriend get over some injuries that her shoes were causing her, and that got her into the mindset that she wanted to run again. Now to see where the adventure takes us!
