A few years ago, I was your typical office-worker: stressed out, uneven energy, overweight, and inconsistent complexion. Now I'm just your typical 28-year old urban hunter-gatherer on a quest to be healthy, and having a few adventures along the way. See my full bio.
It's an exciting time to be in New York City. Look for Barefoot Runners on the Today Show next week. The brief segment covers trends in footwear, focusing on toner shoes and Vibram Five Fingers. Peter Alexander, the Today Show correspondent, joined us for a run on Wednesday wearing a brand new pair of VFFs. Pretty cool.
Also, check out our brand new website for Barefoot Runners NYC. We've got the Today Show announcement, a terrific instructional video on barefoot running, 10 easy steps to barefoot running, and additional resources.
