running barefoot

I am busy getting ready to go to Canada tomorrow but I have found a moment between laundry, making cookies for Ami's school tomorrow, packing and making dinner to post this.

Here is the article that goes with it, I have been wondering about barefoot running for a while as my old neighbour spent most of his time in barefeet and he also did running barefoot with his wife. The problem with a barefooted neighbour is that it is hard to enforce the idea that shoe wearing for 4 year olds is sometimes mandatory...
My neighbour had Vibram Five Fingers shoes which made him look a bit gorilla-ish and yet cool!
