barefoot running? Getting influenced by Born to Run and the Tarahumara

 I run about thirty miles most weeks and touch wood I haven't had any injuries. I am not vigilant about changing out my running shoes (maybe once a year if I'm lucky) and I pretty much avoid stretching - it bores me. Yoga happens maybe once every other month, and only then grudgingly (although I'm pleased to announce that I have finally conquered the headstand). But all of these things I intermittently feel guilty about. At least, that is, until I read 'Born to Run'.
