Born to Run'
s "less is more" approach to running, I decided to chuck ALL 3 of my shoe inserts (yes, I have three!), along with my ipod, watch, and nike+ sensor and JUST RUN as naturally as possible.
It not only felt less painful running, but it was fun and enjoyable! Who knew running could be like this? At one point in my run I took my shoes off and ran in my socks!!!
I'm not sure how long or how far I ran, but it felt easy. Because most running shoes encourage the heel-toe motion, after getting rid of all the STUFF I began to run hitting mid-foot rather than on my heel (the way we are supposed to run). I was also more in tune with my body and the ground now that I had no music or other gadgets to distract me. It was liberating.
