I really have enough blogs (I own 4-- only two ever get updated), but I've never really written about barefoot running. Probably because I'm not very good at it. If I really think about it though, I'm not very good at the other things I blog about either, so that shouldn't stop me.
Anyway, I've only been out a couple of times so far this spring. I just cannot tolerate the cold-- I have some circulation issues that make running in the winter very uncomfortable. Yesterday was the first time I went out true barefoot. I started out in socks, then ran almost a mile bare, then put the socks back on. I was going to try to finish up without re-resorting to the socks, but the street sweepers haven't been out yet this spring and the streets in my neighborhood are really littered with winter garbage. yikes! I ended up with a total run of 1.75 miles, about half of it barefoot.
I have a couple of sore spots on my feet this morning, but no blisters or anything upsetting. Taking the day off today and will head out again tomorrow I hope.
