We had been walking with a plan of participating in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.capitalcitymarathon.org\">Capital City Marathon<\/a> a couple years ago.  While training I developed a problem with plantar fasciitis in both feet.  It ended up squashing our plans and eventually led to buying a car and lots of different shoes as I tried to get over the problem.<\/p>\n<p>My feet slowly got better but the right foot was still a problem some of the time.  I kept noticing how much better it felt without shoes, but I kept hearing the doctor saying I had to wear shoes all the time.  Then one day I was looking at Masai Barefoot Technology shoes and realized something interesting.  These $$$ shoes were designed to mimic walking barefoot.  So why not just go barefoot?  I joined the Barefoot Running group and my feet have never felt better.  I posted about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/?p=328\">hiking barefoot<\/a> previously.   As I&#8217;ve aged I&#8217;ve put on weight and have gotten out of shape.  Although I have been riding a bike more and walking a bit more I thought it might be good to work on getting in better shape.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I&#8217;ve been reading <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html%3FASIN=0743267206%26tag=authorryanmwi-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=\/o\/ASIN\/0743267206%253FSubscriptionId=0VYJWFG3P1CV4QKTYXG2\" title=\"View product details at Amazon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ec1.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/212M0TC2JRL.jpg\" alt=\"Chi Walking: The Five Mindful Steps for Lifelong Health and Energy\" \/><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I want to work up to 10,000 steps per day at least.  Maybe by next year we could be ready to walk the half-marathon.  To help keep track we have new pedometers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image332\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/hj112-175.jpg\" alt=\"Omron HJ-112\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>These sensitive pedometers track steps, aerobic steps, aerobic time, distance, and calories.  I wrote a WordPress plugin to let us record our information and measure progress.  I guess we&#8217;ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re planning to start walking more.
