    Winter Challenge - 2012

    I'm in the western suburbs on Lake Minnetonka (Spring Park). And yes, we should do that.. But keep in mind I just started with my cold weather bf run being my 2nd bf run so far. Maybe 6 more runs in my Feelmax, nothing more than 2.5 miles Funny, I didn't even notice you are from MN...:)

    Winter Challenge - 2012

    Yes it is pretty amazing! I think I just have to get used to it... What i also noticed is that I feel much more sore in my calves than the runs before... probably part of the cold temperature hindering the flexibility of the muscles?? ... and of course I overdid it as usual...:)

    Winter Challenge - 2012

    I did my 1st cold weather bf run this afternoon. Air temp 39F and sunny, frozen puddles on the path.. It took me a while to find the guts to finally get out of the car and do it, still a little embarrest (why ?) as well as a little fear (what the hell am I doing...) It was great again, took a...

    Barefoot Running Magazine's Autumn Issue is Now Available!

    Yes Chuck, we have already snow on the ground and I will switch to minimalist shoes. I used them before, nice but not as nice as bf. I guess i will hop on the treadmill soon. Tonight it's 16F...:(

    Aahhhhhh, snow on the ground... from 66F to 32F over night.... Good that I took my run yesterday! By the way, calves are a little tight this morning but I did some good stretching which helps. I think I landed with my strides in front of my body, noticed that several times during my run...

    Today we had a 66F sunny day after a rainy start... I thought now or never and went on my very 1st BF run... 2 miles in a hilly state park (3 Rivers). What shell I say.. Sensational... Feeling the ground under your feet.. People smiled at me and I smiled back..:). Now I'm hooked. My feet feel...

    Hello from Minnesota...

I'm doing much more stretching too thanks to all the good hints in this forum, so my calves will hurt hopefully less over time. I am running in Feelmax Kuusaa with a 1.3 mm out-sole. I removed the insole, so the...
