A bit too brief, but still some useful introduction to barefoot running. I especially love that the author is a proponent of the barefoot running movement, and yet she encourages newcomers to be cautious, admits that barefoot running isn't for everyone, and even provides plenty of opposing viewpoints to help caution anyone considering barefoot training.
