Introduction
I came to the minimalist running scene prior to, what seems
to me at least, the 2012 boom (in options, at least). Prior to
2012, there were quite a few options available to minimalist runners; however,
I feel as if there are more options in 2012 than there were in 2011. Prior to reading the now-classic Born to Run by Christopher McDougall, I
had a strong desire to junk my New Balance 993 dead-weights for something
lighter and more minimal.
