For those who run as their passion or primary method of excercise you may find my weekly blogs on barefoot running interesting and informative. I have become interested in barefoot running after reading Chris McDougalli's popular book "Born to Run". I recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn more about running barefoot. Most of the concepts of unshod running made sense to me both as a running athlete and as a healthcare professional. In order to determine whether running barefoot is all it's hyped up to be, I have decided to start a barefoot running program, this goal of which is to run the half marathon in Myrtle Beach, SC next February barefoot. In my weekly blog updates I will keep you all posted on my experience. I will also share my professional insight on the differences of running shod vs. unshod. Next week 's blog will introuduce my initial experience into running barefoot including my first (and hopefully last) barefoot running injury.
