I had my 40th birthday this year and have decided to make some major changes in my health. I work in a field that requires good observation skills, excellent verbal skills, good mental alertness, and last but not least good health. I need to stay focused and I need to shape up. So I have decided to take on running.
All of my life, I have hated...not just disliked...but HATED running. But, on the same note, I love a good challenge and have decided to take this one on. I know other people are able to do it, so why not me? After doing a fair amount of research, I have decided to take on the task using my Vibram FiveFinger shoes. I have owned two pair for that last two years and love them like I love bare feet. I recently purchased the new version with trek soles for that extra protection and added 'grip'. During my research, I have found the POSE form for running which lends itself well to the minimalist foot covering and will utilize this in my training.
So that is a brief synopsis of where I am going to go with this blog. It will be a place I can celebrate achievements, complain about setbacks, ask for encouragement and keep a clear focus on what the mission is. Hopefully, I won't bore you and perhaps I can become a source of inspiration for any others wanting to delve into a new mission (whatever it may be).
More to come....
