    Runner passes through Missouri on epic shoeless adventure

    I found him! I met up with him twice while he was in the area. Once for a run along Hwy 100 and then again for some beers on his weekend "off" day.

    Does barefoot running elicit long term happiness and productivity?

    I think it is a change in POV in how you experience the environment around you and how you let it in. I have found that everlasting energy as well especially when it leads to the end of the day being shod and the shoes come off! It is like an energy drink once those barefeet hit the cold hard...

    Splinters, who gets them and who doesn't?

    Give it some time and always do yardwork (except cut grass) in your barefeet! I spent the afternoon unloading a truck full of mulch into my flower beds today and went splinter free. I have been running barefoot and spending plenty of time in the yard barefoot since 2010.
