Apparently there is a common risk of enjoying barefoot to much...

...and it seems i have made this mistake.

for the last week i have been hobbling and limping and generally suffering for really sore heels. not the underside,  the soles of my feet are feeling great, but the back, where the tendons and stuff join the bones.

the 'and stuff' there points to the problem in part - i am trying to re-train and strengthen my feet without a proper understanding of what i am doing.
so now i can't run, although i am getting better at walking again.

i think this is a problem that has been brewing whilst i was walking in my VFFs, as my feet started hurting earlier in the year. the extra strain of the running has done the rest.

so - i need to go back to basics.
i have bought this very interesting looking book, which i hope will bring me safely back to the path.
fingers and toes crossed!
