The...Valid question Thomas, and the answer is yes. There is a "however" though. This stress fracture was more of a blunt force injury from stepping on baseball sized rock twice (full force each time) on a well packed converted rail-to-trail. Not from wear and tear from barefoot/VFF running. So, once I'm back to running, I'll still be barefoot/VFF running but more careful on what surfaces I do it on.Jamie Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819417283043630893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-22185798032315646402010-04-04T12:30:24.289-04:002010-04-04T12:30:24.289-04:00Now that really sucks.

I'm sorry, man.<br /><br />In know the mere question is heretical these days, but have you considered the possibility that all those barefoot/VFF miles might be the cause for your injuries?Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-88976549523510683222010-04-04T11:29:54.392-04:002010-04-04T11:29:54.392-04:00J-Rock - well said.

As the queen of stress fractures (not a title I'm proud of) I have been down this road several times and understand what you're going through. Biking has saved me mentally and physically when I can't run - and mountain biking sounds like the perfect choice for you. Pete has tons of routes and is always looking for a partner if you're interested. It's also a great way to find new trails for running.
