The Cure for Modernity, May 11, 2009

This review is from: Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen (Hardcover)

If, when you finish with this book, you don't immediately get yourself outside and run like hell, then there's probably not a drop of living blood in you. This book is the perfect antidote to everything that's wrong with modern running and the way to find everything that's still so right with it. Even if it were all a work of fiction McDougall's tale would still be worth the price of admission. Fabulous.

If you want to prove there's blood and life in you, and run like hell barefoot, but survive without tearing up your feet, you can make your own huaraches or order a custom pair made just for your individual feet on http://invisibleshoe.com/ ... they are the coolest things EVER! It's the same thing the Tarahumara wore, with a modern twist, and a wider variety of laces color assortments! Check em out!
