Hi all,
Haven't been over here in ages, life has just gotten too busy to keep up. I haven't run since early August because the doc still hasn't cleared me to run following the stress fractures in my cuboid and navicular. I'm slow to heal because of medical issues and the medication that goes with it, oh well, nothing I can do but heal. If all goes well, I should be back to running in January (granted I said the same thing about October and November
.
In the mean time I have started a beginners running group and had everyone running in socks, hehehe. They were all excited to hear about barefoot running and had a ball shuffling around the track.
I have been doing some hiking in my VFF Treks and love them (until the doc told me no more hiking!!) Bottom line, I haven't given up on barefoot or running, just biding my time while the tootsies heal.
For the newbies out there, I didn't get the stress fractures from being barefoot, I got them from being stupid. I was running flat ground for 3 years and them moved to a hilly area and proceeded to maintain my speed and mileage with the addition of steep hills to every run. MAJOR DUH MOMENT!
I hope everyone had a great TG and is not letting the impending winter kill their mileage!
