“Remember, it’s the pace that kills, never the distance.”
― Bill Jones, The Ghost Runner: The Tragedy of the Man They Couldn't Stop
No you are not lost! If you are looking for updates on Happy Feet in the Netherlands' Running Adventures, you are in the right place.
I simply "borrowed" the image above from the #30BikeRidesChallenge I am currengly doing @ The Lightness of Being on the Bike.
This project has kept me sane the past weeks, and kept my feet happy! It seems fitting that the first post announcing my baby steps to a running come back should include a picture from how I pedaled home my new "babies".

| Barefoot Blog Series (so far): 1.) Don't Panic, Keep Things in (Statistics)/Perspective 2.) Baby Steps to Barefoot Running |
As much as I want to continue with barefoot running, I am not ready to do so in the cold seasons. Perhaps this can be a challenge I can take on for the future. After my experience this Summer, I am sure that I'll be spending a lot of running barefoot next year, as early as Spring!
I know there are a lot of whats (Morton's Neuroma on my right foot) and whys (they are still finding out why!) regarding my (frustrating!) injury ,(expensive!) theraphy , (surprising quick) recovery (quicker than I thought...but while in it July-September, it seems like it lasted forever!) etc..
I have been ill though this week after taking care of the youngest daughter, who still has colds and coughs. Now, I should actually be finishing packing (last minute again!) for our Berlin weekend but here I am!

So, I hope for now you will be satisfied with a short introductory post to my new shoes. And when I come back I will give you a more detailed blog (series!) of the crazy weeks/months of being in Injuryville!
What I can leave you though from my experience in being injured: everything is indeed conquered one baby step at a time.
