Hi barefoot runners

[acp]

Greetings from Menlo Park, CA!

I've been running regularly for about a year and a half, after being diagnosed with 3-vessel heart disease in February 2012. I also changed my diet fundamentally at that time, to mostly raw vegan.

Mostly I've been running with shoes on, but have run barefoot occasionally on both roads and trails, a few miles at a time. Looking forward to building up to more of it.

Looking forward to learning a lot from you all!

Welcome!

There should certainly be plenty of information for you here especially in the medical section.
Take it easy and slowly and you will be fine.

Welcome to the crew - is that .45 ACP? Probably not. Glad to have you with us at any rate.

Thanks, All, for the warm welcome!

At least you knew what I was talking about. Great self-discipline to make the life changes you're making - keep up these lifestyle improvements and you'll be with us a lot longer!
