Coming Soon to Some Jacked Up Feet Near You

So I've decided to give in to the urge I've had my entire life though I never knew the word for it. I've decided to become an Ultra-Runner.

Maybe I should back up. Never in my life (until I started playing music) did I love anything in this world so much as running and being barefoot. The barefoot I learned from my mother, but the running... I can't really explain it, the love of it has always been there. My only dream as a child was to be an Olympic runner.

You can see to look at me that it's pretty obvious that I have not, in fact, been running all these years. But always in the back of my mind the thought and desire have been there-even through everything I've done and been through that have attempted desperately to squash said love and desire.

Now through books and some research (most of which was done by... not me at this point) I'm coming to find out that the best way to run-the HEALTHIEST way to run to gain what I will call a natural muscular strength is to run...BAREFOOT.

Kill me now, my dreams have been fulfilled.

Yes there are those of you out there who don't buy it, but that's fine. I don't require you to. If I've piqued your interested however, just follow along with my madness here, and we'll all see what happens with my injured back and TWO feet with plantar fasciitis.

I'm tired of being tired, I'm tired of having a gut, and I'm tired of being unheathy both physically and mentally. So I've decided to do something about it.

And to prove how serious I am, I'm going to start 2 days ago. In January. I can't run barefoot right now, but I WILL run. I'll show you all. When I get dollars, I plan on getting some Vibram Five Fingers and eventually I will run barefoot. But first things first. I'm going to keep running. And I'm not going to stop.
