I’m a massive Pearl Jam fan – and fast becoming a Ferruggia fan too!

Your words have a deep resonance with me and echo many of my beliefs.

Though I’ve been successful in my professional capacity, I’ve always know that something was missing in my personal sphere of success – the mirror don’t lie.

I have totally modified my diet in recent months, discovering superfoods (maca, cacao, spirulina, bee pollen, etc.) and have experienced the new found energy.

With your advise, and that of your peers, I now have a way to invest this energy.
Man or super man – the choice is ours to make; total commitment is required.

Thank you for your inspiring and down to earth sharing of the knowledge.

I look forward to reading and learning more; you’re a very special guy.

All the best,

Nick

PS. I don’t idolise anyone – I just respect and admire the ‘doers’ in life )

I am looking into getting the Nike Frees and I noticed that they have versions 3.0, 5.0, and 7.0 with the lower numbers being closer to barefoot. Do you use Frees and recommend a particlar one? Are the vibrams far ahead of the frees in terms of benefits? If so, I may just go straight to them. Thank you for the mid-summer motivation!

I am really sad I got rid of my free’s…I used to work at Nike and was a HUGE proponent of them when they first came out with all my athletes. I myself had plantar fasciitis really bad and I would attribute that to running in shox! For women especially, and even more so when they first came out where basically the men’s version used with a women’s last…so basically the men’s shoe made smaller for women. The biggest problem with this is that the shox were way to stiff so if you weren’t at least 150 lbs they didn’t give at all creating major problems…a huge attributing factor to plantar fasciitis! I would get up in the morning not able to even walk or put any pressure or flex in my foot…I was practically in tears every morning! I ended up having orthodics made to no avail and I kid you not, the moment I switched to the frees it all went away! After the major initial push of the technology they haven’t put out as many and have started to utilize the technology within other shoes but it hasn’t been the same. I have to admit, embarrassingly so that I got rid of the frees because I couldn’t stand the color as they only made the womens in light blue and pink initially! I know I know that is lame but really, PINK!!! Give me a break!! Anyway, point I just made to myself is that I need to go pick up another pair! I’m just sad it’s now at full retail

Sorry, went on a tangent…off to order some fish oil!!
