Why?




background
i ve been running quite alot fot the last 3 years, since i quit my expensive gym and needeed a new outlet. i always found running dull but i bought enough gadgets to get me into it, including the nike + which i found really motivating, (and even works with the vibram shoes, in a plastic laces holder)

injury
Only problem is i kept almost reaching 1/2 marathon level and the my KNEE would say it's enough, no specific complaint pain point shift and Physio has had no lasting effect so far. very frustrating!since i am now hooked and seem unable to go back to my sloth life!

barefoot
after reading born to run, and hearing their theory about correct posture, and that modern shoes ruin our intended running posture, numbing our body sense ect i though why not try it.

step 1
desperate to be injury free i bough a book on Chi-running ( i must admit i am kind of addicted tt buying books, and trying new stuff out). further more i ordered a pair of vibramfivefingers KSO as talked about in born to run.

ready to go!
after sending back my vibrams and getting a smaller size (shoe online is just very tricky, but in this case worht it)
