About 2LBF

As a long-time believer that here is no better feeling than being barefoot, this 34-year-old, 5’11-1/2″, 225-pound male novice runner decides he wants to learn to run barefoot. Why??? Because if I don’t, I’ll end up quitting because running shod is such a pain, literally.

Yeah. So. That was the original premise of this blog. But….Still not a barefoot runner, and hell, I wouldn’t even consider myself a minimalist runner. I still wear shoes with oversized heels and annoying arches when I run, though I’m still barefoot the majority of the time not at work, or running. And since I think I have more to talk about than the fact that I didn’t run for a week and a half, I decided to open up my blogging to anything and everything, from squirrels invading my homestead to imbibing alcohol with my family. And there’s still some running thrown in.

This will, I hope, not only keep my writing fresh but serve to gratify the reader, because gratified readers make for happy workers who do nothing but spend their work-days surfing blogs and Googling themselves til their mouse hands are crampy.
