Scarlett Johansson in VFFs, Owen Wilson heel-striking

More from the prestigious Journal of Celebrity Affairs.  Check out Scarlett Johansson running in her VFFs.  Yes, that's Sean Penn and Owen Wilson running normal sneakers.  Scarlett has a nice forefoot strike.  Owen Wilson....yeah, not so much.

Ouch.  When I give barefoot running beginner's clinics in Central Park, we wait for heel-strikers like Owen Wilson to run by, as an example of what not to do.  He's almost certainly making big thomping noises too.

Moral of the story #1: Don't take running tips from Owen Wilson.

Moral of the story #2: It's all taking off.  Actually, it's already taken off, and we're in orbit, baby.  The only thing better would be seeing Zoe Saldana running totally barefoot and not eating legumes.  If that ever happens, may lightning strike me dead.
