The entire month of December is going to be dedicated to shoes here at the Daily Marathon. Before we get to talking about barefoot running, shoe fittings, and climate control, I wanted to share an inspiring TED talk from Aimee Mullins.
Aimee is the first double amputee to compete in NCAA Division 1 track and field. This video is especially relevant right now because Aimee doesn't so much pick out shoes as she picks out feet. If you watch the video to the end, she actually changes out her legs to show off her carbon fiber gams. If that doesn't get you, then her amazing attitude and humor will.
Plus, she very cutely mentions the work she has to go through to find shoes!
