Two New Barefoot Running Articles

It seems like barefoot running isn't just a passing fad - it's drawing more and more attention from scientists all the time. A new audio clip article from NPR (National Public Radio) (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123031997 sc=fb cc=fp) discusses the idea that humans were meant to be barefoot, and that people who run barefoot generate far less impact with a ball-heel strike, rather than a heel-ball strike. The second article from Boston College's The Heights (http://www.bcheights.com/marketplace/running-barefoot-gains-ground-as-smarter-way-to-exercise-1.1090247) talks a lot about the shoe industry and how (and why) shoes are causing more injuries. There's even a quote from a local Boston traceur who enjoys training barefoot.
