My name is Bill and I am a 57 year old "barefoot" runner. I started running in my 20's when I found out it was something I could do because I wanted to, not because the coach was making me run laps because someone in the class did something wrong. It was a revelation.
I would say I enjoy distance running the most,15 miles or more. I have run lots of marathons and have decided to make the jump to ultras. I would welcome any suggestions as to good resources of information regarding ultras.
I converted to barefoot about 3.5 years ago and found it life changing. The sense of freedom and joy I experience is hard to put into words. I do the majority of my running barefoot but if I need a shoe, for trails etc., I go straight to my Invisible Shoes. The 4mm Connect is my shoe of choice whether running or going out for a night on the town. It's a fantastic shoe!
The transition was, and continues to be, an endless source of fascination for me. To say my feet have changed would be a gross understatement. They are the healthiest, and sexiest, ever.
Strong feet, strong body.
Great to have you join us here. Your comments about having sexy feet got my gears turning... maybe we should have a "sexiest feet" contest on Toe Salad. What do you think? Would you win ;-) ?
