Hello. I'm a new member here at ToeSalad. I started running a little over 2 years ago in my mid-forties, transitioning to minimalist and barefoot after about a year. I do about half my runs on pretty gnarly trails, so I'm still using footwear for those runs -- NB Minimus these days, and just bought some Luna sandals. Otherwise, for road runs up to about 15k I'm barefoot. Longer than that and I'll eventually throw on my Minimuses or VFF KSOs to save my skin.
In the rest of my life I'm a mom to four kids from 8 through 17, mostly unschooled (my eldest has been in school part-time for a couple of years). We live on a rural acreage in the mountains, a couple of miles from a village of 600, an hour and a half's drive from the nearest fast food joint or shopping centre. I play violin and viola, as do my kids. I'm also a very part-time family doc.
Looking forward to making the most of the resource that is this site!
