I need accountability for this goal...

Just read the whole thread going back several years.

I agree that running is the best way to get fit and stay fit. Habitual running, not a 2-month plan then back to normal habits. No barefoot running, that's a bad idea IMO. Maintaining 30-40 miles per week barefooted you'll be injured quickly unless you are lightweight, don't overpronate/supinate, are conditioned for it, and have relatively soft surfaces. "Fad" is a good way to describe it.

I'm getting back in shape now, too. Up to 3 miles per day 4 times per week plus some spinning on the stationary bike when the weather's bad. "In shape" is a relative term, not trying to get back to 16-minute 5K level, just get back (and hopefully stay) in the daily habit of cardio whether running or spinning.

Keep it up.
