I'm just a 46 year old woman who wants to stay in shape and feel good and age well. I'm not a marathoner. I'm not a triathlete. I'm just a mom. But I love to run and workout. Not that it's always fun while I'm doing it, but I love the feeling of success after I finish. Some days it's just pure will-power to finish my run or do that lunge or push-up, but at 46, I think I am doing really well. I don't know if 45 was a good time to start barefooting it, but I was having back and knee problems and ran across the book, "Born to Run," and was inspired. So I am blogging my journey of barefoot running. Thanks for taking a look. I hope it inspires and helps someone else along the way.

Still at it!

Still going STRONG. Had a bit of a setback when I slipped on some ice. But I'm back to running. The weather is warming, so I feel more COURAGEOUS to run in VIBRAMS.

There is a new VIBRAM BIKILA coming out. My daughter-in-law hooked me onto these. I hope she gets hers FIRST. Then I'll try some. Very cute, and made just for running.

I am seeing a change in my leg and low back pain--SLOWLY. I just keep trying and making my feet and legs stronger. I go BAREFOOT anymore around the house. I don't know if I could go back to shoes...

Happy running! And good luck to those of you recovering from injuries. Not fun.
