So here I am on another forum....this will make my wife ohh so happy!
Anyway, here I am, long time listener....first time caller! I've been "lurking" on every blog, forum and any other website about running since last November. At that time, I was deployed in Kuwait and I caught the last few minutes of this crazy barefoot running guy on GMA. After a quick Google search I found out that guy was Christopher McDougall and I soon after ordered his book. Since I was deployed at the time and the terrain was less then hospitable, I decided to hold off on starting my barefoot adventure until I was back on U.S. soil.
Fast forward almost a whole year and I have yet to put any real mileage on my bare feet. And it's not because I don't want to! I just can't seem to drag my non-motivated butt out of bed in the morning to do it. I've tried doing it in the evening, but life gets in the way and I always find something else to occupy my time (read: 2 year old son). Ok....I guess the only real problem here is me? Hopefully, I will get out of bed tomorrow morning and start running again.
Until then, I will keep lurking here and maybe that will be enough to push me over the edge. I really love to run and the feeling I get afterwards always has me saying that "I should do this more often", but I really LOVE to sleep too!
Anybody else here with similar problems?
