My dad has always enjoyed running, and used to run for miles every night, back when I was little. He would take up running off and on over the years. When I was 11, I started running with him. We ran for a couple of years, then I started running again when I was about 14, and did that for a couple more years. He's recently taken up running again, and I've been wanting to go with him again, once the asthma allowed. Thanks to a friend of ours, Bonnie, we've taken an interest in barefoot running. So we gave it a try for the first time tonight. :) It felt great! We didn't go too far, wanting to get our feet used to it. But we're going to build up to going several miles, and start running a lot more often. I'm rather excited about it. :) I never wear shoes unless I have to anyway!
