Good story, he must have worked hard at that.
I've noticed a few barefoot runners, running on the grass along the riverwalk in Chattanooga, personally, walking barefoot on the ground and grass is a joy. I don't run. But on concrete and asphalt, I think shoes are needed. My heel spurs (mostly from skateboarding in no-padding cheap shoes) need the padding.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
