    BTR, a favorite book of mine. I've read it four times and have loaned it out. It hasn't come back yet! No surprise there.

    Thanks to Chris's work, I've adopted the vegan diet, huarache running/utlra distances on trails, etc. I'm off my cholesterol meds finally, feeling great. Just turned 50 and on my birthday this past Sat. I completed a self designed full Ironman tri course in 15.5 hrs. My video on this: "sh*t a barefoot vegan endurance runner says" G rated. I hope you enjoy some info n lafs.

    Read his book and the research within. Modern studies back up the claims in this video.

    Thank you so much for you book! I just read it this weekend. You've convinced this out of shape mom who hates running that I can take up running, be successful with it and actually enjoy it.

    It was a blessing in disguise that in the early 70's my elementary school PE teachers always made the noisy kids run a lap while we were supposed to sit quietly during roll; I learned "running is punishment." Today I've begun the 100 up drill in my kitchen. I expect to enjoy learning to run - Thank you!!!
