Hey everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself... I started running (in sneakers) about 10 months ago, then decided to get VFF's and start all over after working my way up to a 5k. I loved the barefoot running style, and kept going with it. Over the summer I trained for a 13.1 mile trail run, which I ended up doing back in October. I had a blast, even though I ran into IT Band issues, which I have been spending a couple months recovering from, and learning a lot about stretching, strengthening certain muscles, etc.
Yesterday and this morning I actually started running again. I ran completely barefoot on my street and didn't have any IT band pain... It was 21 degrees out this morning WOW was that interesting. So I figured I'd join this site to get up to speed with the whole barefoot thing.
