    Barefoot Walking!

    ok so this is really just a lead-in to a blog post I wrote, but I thought it was worth discussion here. Every book I've read on barefoot running has said that in the beginning you need to spend time walking barefoot. Makes perfect sense, but did I do it? Hells no! I spent plenty of time...

    Article: Featured Meetup - Merrell's Naked Foot 5K, Michigan Chapter - We are not alone! By John Yoh

    Just thought I would add that there were at least 4 (potentially more!) other BRS Michigan members at the event who either had left before we got to take the photo or that we couldn't pick out of a crowd (who'd have thought that would ever be a problem for BFRs!).
