So far I've run a total of 35.43 miles. Just 64.57 to go. Donations total about $3,455.
A while back I went into one of our local good shoe stores and asked if they had some slippers that were without arches, heels or padding inside. I wanted to use them as my everyday shoes. The young lady working there said, "We don't have anything like that. We are all about comfort." I did not make a "smart remark" to her in response to her comment, but thought as I went out the door, "After working all day in the shoe store, do you go home and leave your shoes on or take them off to be comfortable?"
The latest thing in running shoes is 'minimalist shoes'. Nothing more minimal than a huarache. The 'five finger ' shoes are also supposed to mimic being barefooted. Why not just wear a car tire sandal? Watch the shoe market. You are going to see more and more people wearing and running in huarache style footware. If you have time, read the book, 'Born to run'.
That's a fantastic book.
