Just joined the board today. I ran a half marathon in 07 with shoes
and ruined my ITB. I almost gave up on running because it just kept
hurting, but then I found out about barefooting and thought I would
give it a try. I started running in 5 fingers (I know, not quite
barefoot) back in March of 2008 and I'm currently building for my
first full marathon. I know many of you are true barefooters, but
since I have felt the sting of rejection from the shod crowd for my
independently moving toes, I was hoping I could hang out here.
I do have a couple questions,
I have had some pain between my second and third metatarsal on top of
my foot about an inch behind my toes. Anyone have any ideas for
stretches or other conditioning to help with this?
I'm planning to run the ING GA marathon in March, anyone else going?
