Just thought I'd post a short quick incident that happened to me today.
I stepped up my mileage this week for barefoot running after a week long rest from running due to ITBS issues. I only went and and ran a mile (a half mile longer than what I had been doing barefoot since Ijust started in the past two weeks). I figure the short mileage will help me build up on barefooting and also help test how my knee is doing as far as the ITBS goes.
Anyways... the funny part is that I live in a neighborhood with a lot of older/retired people (love my nice quiet neighborhood) and my neighbor was out on her porch. Itook off this afternoon barefoot down the middle of the road for my run when she yelled at me from her porch to go put some shoes on! I chuckled and did my short run.
As soon as I came back she was still on her porch, only this time she came to the roadway and told me again to go put some shoes on. She yelled at me that it was too cold to be out barefoot (it was actually 61 degrees... the warmest this week, mind you). She even started going toward her front door saying she'd even give me some of her shoes (and I'm a dude, I can only imagine what that would have looked like wearing old woman shoes down the road). I quickly went inside to avoid seeing what she was going to bring me.
Any one else having something like this happen to them?
