If you feel the need of running have the courage to do it and you can soon persuade others to join you. if you must have company Children at least will be always glad to accompany you... Wear knee breeches woolen stockings and low running shoes or better still wear no stockings and no shoes whenever the weather will permit. There is wonderful comfort in a bare foot as everybody knows. Contact with the earth is healthful. And in summer after a rain or in the dewy morning how refreshing a running foot bath through wet grass. Even in winter a short run barefooted through the loose snow may be made perfectly safe for those who have taken the right training producing a warmth and glow in the feet which will last for hours.
Never race for prizes or run against time or compete for anything. Avoid over strain. Don't make work of your sport. Leap and bound down hill and you will find it jar you much less than straight running. Run up hill zigzag. Stop whenever you feel any discomfort get your wind and then run again. By constant practice a man could run as long as he could walk. In some places in the Orient outrunners and footmen accompany carriages and keep up with the horses. In the bardic chronicles of Ireland we read of the horse boys running all day by the side of the tourist ready to be at the bridle whenever the master halted. And wonderful tales travellers tell us to day of runners in Mexico Japan Africa. ... The runs I recommend are through the dewy meadows of morning over the hills of afternoon or through the aisles of forest temples runs with an easy breath a light foot and a gay heart. You may not like Selkirk become able to run down wild goats but you can at least run down your avoirdupois (body weight) run up your spirits and run out if not outrun your doctor.

I had a funny conversation with some friends over the weekend. We had a discussion about which book had the most impact on us this year. Hands down, for me, it was "Born to Run". We started discussing the whole thing, and one of my friends made the comment that people didn't run before sneakers were invented. WTF?
Another guy was really interested, because his son is having issues with the growth plate in his heels. Apparently this is pretty common among kids nowadays. He had to take a year off from sports because of it.
I had a growth-related issue with my shin bones when I was in high school. Got me out of gym from 8th grade to senior year. As a junior or a senior, I broke both my heels by jumping off a staircase backwards (not a bright move). I've never heard of this problem with growth plates in the heels... could this be another sneaker-caused injury? My friend sure seemed to think it was related...

That must have been the good old days, that is, the time period before sneakers. Man, those folks sure had it easy. Since they couldn't run because they pre-dated sneakers, I assume all their food (animals) would just run up to them and say, please kill me.

The heel condition is called calcaneal apophysitis.
"This inflamed heel growth plate is caused by overusing the foot with repetitive heel strikes. It may also occur from wearing shoes with poor heel padding or poor arch supports."
What's the cure? More heel padding. I'm sorry, but this is insane. Chris McDougall has done us a wonderful service with his book.
