Hello everyone!
I just turned 50 in January and recently finished a few books on Barefoot running, starting with a fellow named Csaba Lucas who wrote 'Barefoot Sole', 'Born to Run,' and Barefoot Ken Bob's book 'Barefoot Running Step by Step.' I have a long history of running, but have been out of the game for two years because the bottom of my right foot was hurting. Reading these books... everything makes sense now. The fallen arches, a torn meniscus about 7 years ago, and then right foot pain. I had been wearing shoes with major arch support.. not helpful. At any rate, I was delighted to discover this website after visiting Ken Bob's site and finding a link leading to this one.
I started going barefoot and doing some hiking trails in the neighborhood and have been enjoying it a great deal up until recently. I suspect I might be another BRES victim and may have gone too much too fast, so I am having to cool my jets to let me knee recover. I am hoping to get back on track soon, Lord willing, and perhaps even get to join the Los Angeles chapter for a run when I am able. Glad to connect with you all!
