I was out running the streets with my boys, 10 and 7. We had barely gone half a mile when my seven year complained that his foot was bleeding and demanded a piggy back ride. Recovering from a knee injury I refused to grant his wish and actually had him run back home. It was not until after we had showered and I decided to medicate his wound that I noticed he had a tiny piece of glass lodged in his foot.
This happened about a week ago. We’ve gone out running once since then but with shoes on. I’m in a real dilemma. I would like my boys to enjoy barefoot running. I also want them to be safe. Confining them to tacks is an option. But a rather boring option. And above all I have to get over my guilt.
