I’ve been training on and off for about four months and like other runners, I’ve been reading up on running barefoot. I’ve had really bad ankle injuries from playing soccer, and was advised by my doctor after suffering ankle pain and bruising to perhaps consider another hobby other than running. Not one to be put [...]

Only 10% of World War 2 veterans who survived the war are alive today.
If you know a World War 2 soldier, thank them. The freedom and liberty we enjoy today is due to their sacrifice. We are forever in their debt.

You get the benefit of the salary that comes with working in a big city, but none of the drawbacks. Well, none except the traffic, that is.
