My Life as an Experimenter continues

I am back on track after almost a month of gap. Feels good but still it isn't easy running. Cold and cough sometimes makes me breathless and forcing me to slow down. My Bestie gave me a book Born to Run and lot has been written and discussed about barefoot running and how heavy cushioned shoes are making us more prone to injury.

Being most influenced person and wanting to try new and something different every time, I am now gonna start running on canvas. Canvas shoes have a nice thin sole and it hardly provides any softness to the foot. My form should change now and hopefully running should be easy and smooth now. It will also allow me to go at a faster pace. in last 2 months I had thrown away two shoes because the sole had worn off and I could feel the road beneath me and it was hurting me. Now, It seems I was wrong, it will certainly take sometime to get adjusted to new shoes but it is good for the long run. The knee life will be increased and running will be fun again.

I should be back in a week discussing about my experience with barefoot running.
