Hello,

My name is Mike and i live in Portland, OR. I've been min/bf for 3 years now. Been slow and steady and mostly great. Can you believe a woman asked me if i've read "Born to Run" today. She believed me when i told her never heard of it.

ha! welcome.

Hi John, I also live in STL. Im glad to have ya in the BRS! I try and organize periodic BF runs, usually at Forest Park, but I hear castle wood has some great trails that we need to check out. Also, If you ever want to go on a run or want help with technique, or have any other questions just let me know. We also have a facebook page "Barefoot Runners Society - Missouri Chapter (Official)" that I post information in, or that you can use to connect with others.

Welcome, John. You've discovered early the secret of successful barefoot running (particularly the transition) - slow and steady. Take your time and build speed and distance only as you get comfortable doing so. It took me several months to get up to a steady 3 miles at a 9:30 pace. 2 years in I can now comfortably and routinely handle 6 miles at an 8:15 pace. Just don't get antsy and do too much too soon, or you'll break something. Glad to have you with us here.
