Hi All, I am new to this Forum. Having spent 3 years battling compartment syndrome (had the op) and flippin horrible shin splints I think the time has come to run the way nature intended and go barefoot. However, we are currnetly battling the worst weather ever seen in the South East of England, and a cold (with asthmas overtones), I am er um taking it slow, so to speak. Getting excited to start tho, and also got a job offer today so feeling good.
