I was truly wracking my brain for a blog idea today. Nothing substantial has happened in my running life and inspiration was hard to come by. Maybe it's because it's a Monday...always blame Monday.
So, I decided to try to bring together a lot of the information I've found on barefoot running into one spot. Below are some links to barefoot posts I've seen, sites I've visited and Twitter users I follow. Hopefully, somewhere out there in the wide world of the Internet will get some use out of them.
