      TJ, I know I've been a serious lurker for some time (I'm trying to change that), but I have a request:
      Since I'm the only active member in the Mexico Chapter that actually lives in Mexico (sad but true), could I be made a Chapter owner? LorenaG, the current owner, hasn't logged in for a while and I contacted her once but never replied, so that leaves our chapter headless.

        I will forward your request onto Kate Kift (KittyK) at KateKift@TheBarefootRunners.org. She is the Regional VP and handles the chapters. One thing though, we can't make you a Chapter President unless you are willing to step up to strum up interest and host some runs. -TJ

        I get that completely, and I'll do my best. Although I can't promise tangible results, the few of us in the chapter are very separate from one another, so it'll be difficult to get together. I'm getting into a local race for the first time, so I hope that can get at least a few people interested.

        As for stirring up interest, I'm actually about to post something about the almost non-existance of we latin americans in the community.

        Thanks!

        As long as they are not taken by a profressional race photographer or the like, I would say post them in the Barefoot & Minimalist Running forum. Or you could put them in the Races & Events forum. -TJ

      Hey TJ,
      I've contacted the WI chapter both through the forum here and FB and am getting no responses. It's not an active chapter (last activity last Sept). I'd love to get it going.
      Do you know the admin? What can I do?
      The new forum is fantastic, so happy that it's up and running:).
      Thank you,
      Johnny

      TJ,
      I know this is probably a stupid question considering we are running a contest for a new logo but are we no longer allowed to use the old one? I ask because I really like the old one and have adapted it for the Florida-Tampa Chapter. Do I need to take it off my Facebook and Twitter page?

        Sorry, but yes, we are going to ask everyone to start using the new logo. The contest is over tomorrow, but you can pretty much tell who is going to win. I really like the new logo so much more than the old one. You will grow to love it too, I'm sure. -TJ

      Hey TJ - Victor Palma here. It's been almost two years since I last logged onto the site - wow - I didn't realize it had been that long! The new site looks gorgeous! I think I told you I might be moving this summer. Now I know. I'll be moving back to Maryland (or Virginia) mid summer from Colorado. I should be able to become much more active again in the BRS. 13 years of barefoot running now for me!

        I am excited to have you back, Victor! I can't wait until summer though. Hee. Whenever you're ready to jump back in the game, please send me a note.

        In the meantime, please post now and again to say hi, won't you. I miss you.

      I finally got things working on the new site. I am confused now though. As I worked to repopulate the Indiana Group page something changed and we had 9 members then we had three. I don't know what is going on now.

        I contacted yogaguy74, jnromero, heythereheather, Dr.Nirenberg, vanlue_b, and kittyk, then when I went to pick the next member only kittyk, BarefrootTJ and myself remained on the site. Kind of weird. I certainly would not want to loose anybody quite the opposite I am working to build up our membership.

        I mean by getting things working that I finally have access to the new site with a log in and back to working for the Indiana chapter.

        Sorry, I didn't get your messages earlier. I have my settings to notify me when people write in my profile, but I didn't get any messages. I have forwarded our conversation to Matt, so hopefully, he can figure out what's going on.

        I will say that this weekend, he will be reimporting all the members back into their chapter, as they did not import when we changed sites.

        Thanks for your patience!

    My Posterity Footprint
    I leave my footprint for you to see
    the damage that shoes did to me.
    My foot is no longer nice and wide
    but narrow and cramped in shoes they hide.
    No longer are my feet healthy and free
    but diseased and sick, they bother me.
    Take this as a lesson, so you may too
    not be fooled into thinking shoes rule.
    This is what society did to me.
    I leave my footprint for the world to see. ~me

    It's okay. A lot of people on the forums don't know that I actually can't run anymore, not since 2012. I took my last run in...

    Just another trail race done barefoot (Dirt Dash 5 miler report)
    That was some funny stuff there in the video. -TJ
