Barefoot or near barefoot running/walking..
Anyone else live primarily barefoot or nearly barefoot (through the use of Vibrams Five Fingers or similar "shoes")? I started running with these and I have to say it's the most amazing experience I ever had when it came to running. I have to say that my recovery is a lot faster and I actually **GASP** enjoy running.
When I used to run, my knee and back would hurt. It'd take a couple of days to recover and I hated running. Today, not any more. You do have to change how you run (you have to do forefoot/mid-foot strike rather than heel strike that we're often used to) but it is well worth it, IMO.
