And so begins the Research Paper process...
My Topic: To discuss the benefits of running barefoot
My Thesis: Running barefoot is not only exhilarating and fun, but is also beneficial for strengthening the foot, reducing stress on joints and muscles, and increasing running speed.
I really like my topic a lot. I never really thought about the idea of running barefoot, until I started researching more about it. I've discovered that running barefoot has a lot of positive aspects. Running barefoot is a great way to help strengthen the small and important foot muscles. It is also more exhilerating and fun, because the feet are actually making more contact with the ground, which makes a runner feel more connected. The most interesting thing I have discovered is that running barefoot may even increase someone's running speed, because of the lack of weight on the foot and due to the increased smoothness when running barefoot. The foot is able to feel more free. Thats awesome! The only serious problem with barefoot running is it's inconvenience. (weather conditions/rocks/glass) Somone cant just go barefoot running anywhere. Even with the risks of barefoot running, my research has made me want to rip off my shoes, and go for a barefoot run.
The Research Paper Rough Draft is due Thursday!! AHH! Please pray for us!!!
I am praying! I am glad to know you are working!
ReplyDeleteYour research paper is going to be quite interesting- especially to someone who is an "occasional" .."used to be" runner!
It would probably give you a interesting twist to consider taking a few barefoot runs- maybe you can find a way to include your experience in your paper- as a trial test....??
