I have been running barefoot for about 6 years now. I was somewhat active on Runner's World before they had a barefoot category (which has turned mostly to minimalist topics now). I like to run long distances and do most of my running on the roads. I also bike to work everyday and try to get out on some long distance bike rides once in a while. I have three kids with one on the way in March. They like to go out on bike rides with me in a trailer and sometimes I take them out on runs in a stroller during the winter when it is cooler. I have been living in Taiwan for almost 4 years. I used to live in Michigan and had lots of fun with running in the snow. Now I only get typhoons to run in.

Welcome!
 
I had a marathon at the

I had a marathon at the beginning of Nov and then another one on Jan 1st, so I have been doing a lot of tapering and recovering. My next marathon won't be until June, so I should be able to ramp up the miles before it starts to get too hot. I also hope to get a lot of biking in when it gets a little warmer for the kids to go out in the trailer.



My oldest son (1st grade) had sports day at school and was really upset when he didn't get first place because he didn't get a medal like his dad. He doesn't realize I get one just for completing the races because all he sees me run are marathons.
