Thanks to those of you who recommended that I check out ChiRunning. I was able to find a cheap copy of the book locally, and I've been trying to implement these techniques as part of my re-introduction to running.

I did 2.5 miles on the treadmill today, and 0.25 miles of that was barefoot! I can really feel the difference in technique when I'm barefoot, and I can feel how weak the muscles in my feet are. I'm still not certain that I'm rotating my pelvis correctly, but I think I'm getting the hang of leaning and midfoot striking.

It's gonna be a while before I'm doing long distances, but I've got all winter to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. All in good time, right?
