Running barefoot

If you have talked to me in the last 24 hours, then you have certainly heard me ranting about barefoot running because I am reading Born to Run.  I went out and bought a pair of minimalist running shoes today, and I decided I am going to try them out and see if they work.  I've been having IT problems for about two years now, and I have been scared to run more than 4 miles because of it.  But I miss running.  So I'm hoping to re-teach myself how to run in hopes that this will alleviate my pain!

Seth and I went for a ten minute job in my new shoes tonight.  I was told that because it is so different than how we are used to run with stability shoes, that I need to gradually make my way into it.  So week one will be several 10-15 minutes runs.

I took a two week hiatus on yoga, but I am going back tomorrow to buy a membership and my goal is to do yoga twice a week.  It just makes me feel great both physically and mentally.  Bonus.
