Good luck Mark! I hope it goes well – and BTW I’m a cheap SOB when it comes to shoes too – mine are almost *gulp* 2 years old

Can you tell that Mark is excited?!? He is doing weird little dances(he said they are exercises) and he does it right in front of me. He is like a little boy with his new toy from Christmas. I’m glad he is happy.

I admire your willingness to toss decades of running style to the side of the road (where Jon will likely pick it up and sell it on ebay) so that you can adopt the POSE style. I hope all your body part cooperate. Giving yourself 6 months should be workable. Good luck.

Happy to hear you are excited about the POSE DVD. I ordered the same last thursday as I couldn’t wait to get your review. I’m hoping that this will get me excited about running again as I’ve entered 2 sprint triathlons this summer (one of which I am hosting for 30-50 friends provided I can get liability insurance). Look forward to following your progress.

Bah! That last () part was funny. Yeah, I inquired at my gym and they said “no way” to being barefoot in the gym. I’m a board member there so I can understand it is more about liability than anything. You get one BFRer and then someone else goes BF in the gym and next thing you know, someone drops 20 pounds of iron on their toe and viola, you’ve got yourself a lawsuit.

Blah.

Mark, I meant to tell you this last week: there was a lady at the gym, running barefoot on the treadmill. The manager came up and told her she had to wear shoes … the lady was furious and stomped off (as much as she could, really.).

I’ll just wear the shoes for Sunday runs and you tell Danny I’m here and I’ll be ready for him! grrr…

Wait a minute, you are going full speed ahead with barefoot running and you need to buy new shoes? Hmmmmm. Somehow this just struck me as funny.

And I just spoke with Danny Dreyer on the phone and told him you were doing the POSE method instead. He said he’s coming to kick your butt.
