Barefoot Heather Run

I was walking with my family in the Peak District this summer with heather of such a astonishing purple colour that photographs don't quite do it justice. The weather was also so glorious and the grass soft that I took off my boots and skipped down the hill back to the car. Glorious. Reminded me of my first barefoot mountain experience in Wales up Sugarloaf.

Some good evidence to run barefoot, I remember the amazement when I first ran barefoot, but I do normally wear running shoes. But after watching this I think perhaps I should look a little more into the barefooted possibilities of running.
