I finally hit my first mile barefoot yesterday. It felt great. I used a metronome but other than looking for obstacles I didn't fuss to much with what my legs were doing. It was just a great run. I didn't notice anything new on my soles, just loose skin from an old blister. I guess I need to cut that back, it was closed but after my run it is now open (a couple of little holes). Anyway, I know it's not big mileage but it feels great to know that I'm out of the .xx and on to the x.xx instead.
edit: Just ran another 1.14 miles. It was drizzling and the sidewalks were wet. What an awesome run. I still think I'm pushing of a bit but no new blisters, so I must be doing something right. I also went out minus the metronome. Just an awesome run.
