Barefoot Running

About 2 weeks ago, I was invited by a podiatrist to go to a lecture at MGH on barefoot running, conducted by Daniel Lieberman of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. Unfortunately,  I had clients and didn't want to cancel them. I would have loved to have gone. See the link below for an article about Lieberman's findings.http://www.educatedrunner.com/Blog/tabid/633/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/797/BAREFOOT-RUNNING-WHAT-THE-HARVARD-STUDY-REALLY-SAID.aspx

Meanwhile, I just saw a news clip on a local station in Boston, that there is a Class Action Lawsuit filed Against Vibram Five Fingers minimalist shoes. Here is the link to the article I found online. Love to have anyone's feedback.

Have Allergies?

Allergy season is upon us earlier this year.  Check this link out (from the Dr. Oz show). You may be surprised as to the strategies the physician suggests.

Walk This Way

Here is a link (see below) to a decent article that appeared in "Prevention" magazine (March 2012). The wrong shoes can slow you down, make you fat, and set you up for a lifetime of injuries. Although I don't agree with everything, I do think the article will be an eye-opener for most individuals.
