Hi everybody. I have walked 18 half marathons all over the country with the usual shoe induced miseries. After stumbling across Born To Run (no pun intended) I read all the books and bought the "fingers." Now, I can't run - period.An aortic aneurism caps my maximum heart at 80%, so I can walk faster than I can run! I have been barefoot in my condo for 4 years, so I have a somewhat prepared foot for a graduated training program. I am 69, and have no need for speed, but I would be supremely happy to see my times just stay around 3:45. My wife and I do 3 events a year, and I will be happy to post opinions. Next event will be the wonderful Squim to Port Angeles, and if all goes well my first minimalist excurision. Dale.
PS If anyone in the Seattle area wants a challenging 9 mile trail workout go to the Lake Youngs Watershed trail.
