I love the feel of running bare feet, and the fact that none of the aches and pains I experienced from 12 years of shod running have come back! Although there have been some new aches and pains, I find that I am now more in tune with my body and am able to tweak my form/style to eliminate it, or email my coach Tina, and she sorts me out! Come winter here in Alberta, it just gets too cold for me to venture outdoors bare feet, having experienced frostbite on my toes in the past. I have to resort to mini shoes, but I still enjoy it very much! Running bare feet has brought a whole new, amazing breath of fresh air to what used to be considered a necessary evil! I try to run every other day, and really stress about it if by some reason I have to skip a day.
