Hi all! I officially joined the forums a while ago but remained a stalker until now . I'm in the Cleveland, Ohio area, married with 3 kids 2nd grade and under. My husband supports my habit but thinks the no shoe thing is a bit nutty.
I'm a long time shoe hater and always walked around bare-footed, but for some strange reason put on shoes to run in. Go figure. I got injured back in college (chronic right knee), then the kids started to come along, and I stopped running. I picked it back up about 2 years ago but it was so hard, mostly because of the stupid shoes. So I just took them off one day. And I never put them back on.
Since then I've done a lot more research, found some books, found these forums, switched out my day shoes and work shoes from regular tennis shoes to VFF, have run some races, dropped 20 pounds, and so on. So long shoes!
Cheers!
Sarah
