Hello from the midwest!

Welcome, Spirit! :barefoot:
 
Welcome aboard, Spirit. My best early advice is to build slowly and steadily, easing off anytime something hurts worryingly or just doesn't feel right. Come back here, throw out any problems, and you'll have access to a wealth of experience from the folks here who are glad to share their experiences with others. Especially when it's to help avoid injury en route to a successful barefoot/minimal running career. Glad you've joined us.
 
Welcome!
Stick around and make some friends we are a nice bunch, well most of us anyways :happy:
