It's the journey, and the destination.
I just came across this video link on twitter (posted by @kentox). It’s an animation of two characters in an office setting talking about barefoot running. What makes it hilarious is not only the statements about being a deranged lunatic and breaking free from the Matrix, but the text-to-video software used creates for some funny […]
Kigo who? I don’t remember exactly how I first heard of Kigo. I think it was on twitter. What caught my attention was their talk about barefoot running and the virtues of a minimalist shoe. The fact that I hadn’t heard of them made me even more curious. I contacted Kigo and heard back from […]
A dream come true. For a lucky few, an 11 mile run in the mountains, including 6,000 feet of elevation change and a mile running on snow is normal. For me, this was a very significant event. It was not only the longest run of my life, but more meaningful for me, though, is that a […]

I’m thrilled to have found a coach and gym owner who get the importance of barefoot running in helping improve running form and how returning to […]
A recent article in Competitor Magazine, titled The Barefoot Running Injury Epidemic, shares how some sports medicine doctors, podiatrists, and physical therapists are seeing a dramatic upswing in patients suffering from barefoot running injuries. One physical therapist in California says that he has “four or five current patients with heel injuries clearly resulting from a […]
