I am making this into a series of articles documenting my journey into this seldom explored realm of running. I will be posting updates every Sunday, and each post will cover what I encountered during my training, any lesson I learned, and how I am progressing. Each post will cover about 2-3 weeks of training at a time. Thank you Chris. I am making this into a series of articles documenting my journey into this seldom explored realm of running.

It is always a goal of mine to help inspire people to live happy healthy lives through being active and eating well. There are many ways to be active, running being my preference, and many different healthy diets out there as well. Good luck on losing that baby...6 years is quite a long term for all that stress on your back!!! My only other thoughts are to check with your doctor before doing any barefoot walking or running. From what I gather, nerve sensations in the extremities are lessened in diabetics and are not good for going barefoot as serious injury could be incurred without knowledge. However, I do think that your COPD could be helped a lot by running. I have suffered from moderately severe asthma since I was 18 months old. I could never run and never did run a mile in my life until I was 22 years old. It took me 3 weeks of building up slowly to just run one mile. I have improved in the past few years since that first mile by about 4,000%!! I thank you again for your comment and hope that I will continue to post relevant and helpful information and ideas for you and others Blake Jimbo,

I am a 61 year old male with a job that requires sitting all day.I have pre diabetic levels and copd, which makes running a future goal, however I have started a walking program to eliminate some weight and lose a middle-aged baby I have been carrying with embarrassment for the the last six years. I will keep following your entries. I used to read the Raw foods diary that Chris submitted. Thanks again for the information and your fine work. Hmmmm, that foot in the huarache looks familiar... is that CMR? You encourage me by example to want to run some day. Much Gratitude, Jimbo Blake:
