Seriously. I read...Have you tried running barefoot? Seriously. I read Born to Run over two days, put the book down, immediately walked out to a field, took off my shoes, and pranced around barefoot. It was an amazing, liberating experience. I had had tendonitis on the insides of my knees (don't know the technical name) for two years and was immediately "cured". I haven't felt it since.<br /><br />I've been a competitive runner for 21 of my 29 years and had forgotten what it felt like to run naturally. I do all of my training runs in shoes, but refresh my body every few weeks with barefoot running on a field.<br /><br />I don't know if it will help your tendonitis, but I live in DC and am willing to meet up with you one evening or morning to run around barefoot. If nothing else, it's a lot of fun.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003954362761829481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032959759035716824.post-76282137243617010342009-10-14T17:08:44.502-04:002009-10-14T17:08:44.502-04:00Sorry to hear about your injury(s) and Lyme diseas...Sorry to hear about your injury(s) and Lyme disease. I'm in the same boat with an ankle/foot issue and haven't run for what seems like the whole summer. It's awful to feel so out of touch and have all your friends out there enjoying the cooler weather. And biking is just not the same. Best of luck in Oregon, sounds like an awesome place from your Waldo report.Carennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032959759035716824.post-86633798088889144522009-10-13T10:27:44.536-04:002009-10-13T10:27:44.536-04:00Bummers all around!
