OK, I've missed a lot of posts, but will try to get back into it. Since Aug. 1 to 7th, I've progressed pretty well. Iran 7 miles Aug. 8-14; 10 miles Aug. 15-21; and 20.2 miles Aug. 22-28. All pure barefoot, no shoes or anything whatsoever. Ihit my goal of doing a 20 mile week by the end of...

Nice mileage week with 18 miles altogether. Did 3 Monday, 4 Tuesday, skip Wed., 2 Thu., 3 Fri. and 6.2 on Saturday night. The 2 mile on Thursday was at the high school track. Did one 400 in 1:26, which is pretty good for me. Got the beginnings of a little blister, maybe, on my right foot of...

Nice, I don't remember my mileage from this week. I'm pretty sure I did 15 altogether. Nothing special, no races.

I remember this as a great race from last year. Idid the 10 mile in 2009, in shoes. The pictures are really funny as Ihad a big knee brace on from an injury. I remembered the course as all grass and dirt, but as it turned out, it was mostly driveway rocks with a 1/2 mile of grass at the end. I...

OK, this is annoying because I'm posting this in the forum and here on the blog. I kind of like the blog because it'll save all the entries. Maybe Ishould start a spreadsheet and log it there too, lol. Ok July 18-24 Idid 15 miles. It was 3.5, 4.5, 2, and 5 at a race on Saturday.

Okay July 11- July 17, Iran 12 miles barefoot. 4 miles on Tuesday, 5 miles on Wednesday and 3.1 miles at the race on Saturday. Nothing interesting to report, other than I need to run more than 3 days a week!

OK, Ifinally got in the ring for a real barefoot 5K today. It was GREAT!! Ran a 22:30, which is a little slow for me, but I'm calling it as my BFPR, as Ifinished 100% injury-free. My feet are buzzing a little, but nothing to worry about. No blistering, except for some old ones healing up from...

Okay - last week (July 5-11), Iran 13 miles. Sessions were 3,4,3 and 3 miles. I missed a 5-mile long run with a cold. No blisters or pain. Good week in general, wish my mileage was up into the high teens at least. This week I'm looking at 12 miles plus whatever Ido tomorrow. Wish it was more...

Ok, this blog will not win awards for presentation. It is just a list of what I ran. Last week (June 27-July 3), Iran all barefoot, 13 miles total (off, 2, 3, 2, off, 2, 4). So far this week Ialready have 10 miles (off, 3, 4, 2, 1). Ishould finish with 18 miles this week, including a 5-miler on...
