Read that book this week while on a cruise; finished it yesterday. Great read. Felt so inspired when I finished, I immediately went up to the top deck and ran a few miles barefoot. Now I'm nursing the beginnings of two fairly good sized blisters.... 8^( I guess you've gotta work your way into those things.
Seriously, I liked his anthropological (is that a word?) explanation of barefoot running. It made sense. Is is really supported by independent science? Who knows? Makes me want to check out a pair of Nike Free's however (see above blister reference!). I do remember seeing a guy running in some Vibrim Five Fingers at the Azalea a year or so back. Wonder how he did with 'em?
