Saw most my relatives this weekend for my cousin’s wedding. Good time. Every time I’d sit to talk with my aunts or uncles my mom would open up with “She’s running barefoot. Megan tell them about your barefoot running” Then I’d have to ramble off the same thing over and over. My outdoors loving ones were in complete agreement with me though, it makes sense. Overall everyone was more open to it than my mom was when I first mentioned it to her. My sister is a huge overpronator like me and she’s going to a podiatrist tomorrow for corrective things. Mom turns to me and goes you do that a lot too don’t you, turn your feet inward when you walk? Yeah I do, really bad. My suggestion of loosing the shoes and going barefoot or at least in less built up shoes went ignored. I’m almost willing to bet money she will call me next weekend telling me about how she asked the Dr about barefooting and was told all the horrible things it’s doing to me now.
