After watching
the movie Barefoot Running by Michael Sandler and Jessica Lee, I wanted to run
out my front door and onto some of those beautiful trails they showed in the
movie. Unfortunately I can’t do that

running barefoot. This movie will show
viewers that neither gender, age nor injury should prevent anyone from enjoying
