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.

Keep moving those feet!

Yesterday my daughter and I suffered the abuse of the males in the family mocking our "hobbit feet." They're just threatened by our innovative and progressive minds! VIBRAMS may look like hobbit feet, but they feel wonderful. So there!

I made it the entire run--4 miles plust a one mile walk--for the first time on the ROAD in the VIBRAMS. I won't say it was EASY, but I did it.

As soon as I start wearing my RUNNING SHOES for running days, my back and hip starts to FREAK out again! So it's worth it. I know it'll just take time. Patience, patience.
