I first started trying this about two and a half months ago. I read an article somewhere that said it was an easier way to run and that it may be better for your body. So I figured what the heck and went for it. It wasn’t easy in the beginning and I had to adjust (you can read more about that here). However, as a result, I was able to run further, faster, my became much stronger, and any pains I felt went away.

Since I now run in my $4 generic crocs, I also don’t need expensive running shoes.

While this is just running, I have taken this a much bigger lesson. Our body naturally knows how to do things right. We should spend more time listening to it and less time trying to force it.
