10 More Things I Learned From Barefoot Ted

Carpe diem!

Snake Attack!

I haven’t suffered any real injuries from wearing my Vibram Five Fingers, the glove-like “shoes” I’ve been running in for the past 10 months. However, I came dangerously close to a very serious injury from a snake bite last weekend. While the shoes didn’t provide any protection in the way of coverage, the issue was actually the light running form they help me run in.

The reason so many people bristle at the idea of running without shoes on has little to do with the ickiness factor and everything to do with a story about an apple, a serpent, and a naked man and woman in a perfect world. Let me explain.

Tears of Relief

A wave of relief rolled over me with such force it spilled out my eye in the form of a tears. All of the emotions that came with 9 months of pain, agony, and finally progress rushed back to me as I exited the office building of my back doctor, head high with no pain.

Running Scared

Trying to play to people’s fears in an effort to stop them from being informed will surely fail. Especially when research from none other than Harvard is being published. Trying to combat information with fear doesn’t work for long (one need only look at some previous US administrations to see that). Indeed, the only effective way to go up against information is with credible and convincing counter-information.
