I met an Australian ex-ballerina dancer doing Tai-Chi at the mouth of the Narrows river canyon in Zion's National park. She was wearing Vibram 5 Fingers. When she finished her excersize we had a conversation about the Vibram and how they changed her feet back into the right shape, and helped her offset years of damage from her dancing. I'm never convinced about barefoot runing. Maybe I'd try twice a week, or on grass. I'd sooner run in crocks like Sasha. I just don't trust my body to 'biomechanically' correct my running as the barefoot running theory goes. My body has let me down a lot and I don't trust it at all anymore. It was interesting though to talk with this girl about yoga, energy, and the reasons we get our hair cut. |
