Shoes?

Shelley posted about the book "Born to Run," advocating barefoot running, a while back.

Karl told me about research Nike has been doing for decades that say more cushioning = more impact.

Anne just showed me an article she found about a new study in Nature about barefoot running and its benefit over cushioned running shoes about an hour ago.

And then it came up on my "Science news" box in igoogle:

So who's up for a barefoot run in 12 degree Wisconsin windchill? Anyone? Ok great, see you all at practice :-)

(But seriously. Stop making us buy $100 shoes if they're bad for us!)
