Hi everyone.
I gotten started with the minimalist running because after repeatedly injuring myself over the course of two half marathons, I wondered why running barefoot for warm ups at the Dojo didn't give me so much a twinge in current injuries. This was around 6 months ago…
So I did some reasearch, and I saved for some VFF's, and got stuck-in early January. After my calves tightened a bit I had virtually no pain.
Untill, two weeks ago I got a proper foot injury, which I will probably post about in a bit… I'm close to giving up self-diagnosing.
At any rate, not running has made time for me to read 'born to run'. It made me feel silly, with how little I know about running, its just something I have been doing on and off since I was 11, for its own sake, always by myself, just enjoying the world go by, and I have never followed a regime or anything. So joining a community I really want to learn how to improve and learn from other people.
Can't really offer much back to the community other than enthusiasm. I have plenty of that.
Luke
