hi there... I thought I started off with a Popeye quote. My name is Jedidja aka Jodelieh.
I am a mom of two girls. I started running in 2004 when my weight was 80kg. Walking and a different approach to food made me a lot thinner and - most important- healthier. I am not the biggest person in the world with my 1m63 and in weight now somewhere between 55 and 60.
I did my first run in 2013; a 4EM, but with a back injury. I recovered and joined a group to train for the Damloop, a 10EM in my home region. 2 weeks before the race day I got a big calves injury, but with soms help I recovered and still ran the race. After 9km in the race it came back with vengeance! I recovered and got scared and every now and then I had a calves injury. I actually thought to give up running.
A few months ago I read an article about barefoot running and I got intrigued. It took me a summer to actually start and in august this year I decided to start walking to learn the forefoot strike. On sept 23, 2016 I've done my first barefoot interval and I loved it. Although now, the day after, I can feel my calves (the right way), but I have had no pain in my joints and I have hadn't so much fun with running in years!
I inspired my husband who is dealing with plantar Fasciitis to change his way of walking.
So tha's all what I yam
