Health and Sanity

by Pete B
(Ronkonkoma, NY)

After 4 cancers since 2006, and personal family issues with addictions, I find solace in the fact that not only am I starting to run again, but I am incorporating barefoot running, minimalist shoe running and even the occasional run in xero sandals! So I start this journey at 64 years old, 5'6" and 165lbs! Let's see where the road takes me. Now if only I can get my wife to join me, lol!!!
