    Houston Street Bridge eats Soles

    The Dallas Rock N Roll Half Marathon was yesterday and His Nibs and myself ran that in lieu of a long run. With 9536 of our best friends. Cold to start so I kept the Sockwas on for three miles and carried them the rest of the way. The course was interesting and fun, more so than the Dallas...

    My First (but not last) Marathon

    Oh thank you all for kind comments! What a journey. I learned so much about myself. Soreness is fading, but the euphoria is still strong. I started planning a 2016 race schedule today, including a marathon (or two?).

    My First (but not last) Marathon

    My First (but not last) Marathon By Bare Claws Yesterday's Dallas Marathon was my very first, one year after my first half at the same venue. It was drizzly and the course was very wet and full of puddles especially at the start. I wore my Sockwa's for ten miles because I was afraid that the...

    [Mar 24, 2016] 6th Annual Winter Challenge (Worldwide)

    We finally had a 50 degree morning and I'm trying to add my name to the challenge and having no luck. Do I have to use the Google Sheets app? Cause that isn't happening. I did this last year and don't remember this problem but whatever. Any thoughts about what I'm doing wrong?

    Mileage reporting 38th week of 2015

    Congratulations! Are you gearing up for running Dallas Marathon again? I'm seriously thinking about signing up for it, my first marathon. (We met at the race last year when was my first half.) I've been working toward the 20 mile race in FW in November and feel that it's quite doable, so why not...

    Fundraiser Time! Improve Your Pronation - Make a Donation!

    I donated. Even though I don't post often, you've been a great resource for me and I'd hate to lose you.

    How do you clean your feet?!

    Try a natural bristle brush, with regular soap, in the bath or shower. I like the brush because it gets into all the little crevices around toes. Use it on the tops of feet as well. Let it dry overnight and repeat! Mine came from Whole Foods but you can find them in any good grocery or drug...

    barefoot . . . re-thought

    I love everything you said and the way you said it. I just tell my husband that running barefoot is like the bubbles in my champagne, the bling in the ring, the perfume in the flower. Shoes make my run dead, flat, boring and a chore. (I only know this from having to wear VFFS for one mile warm...

    Rock N Roll New Orleans

    I ran my second half marathon last weekend in New Orleans, with eleven miles of it barefoot. I was too cold at the beginning so wore my slip on VFFs for a couple of miles, then carried them the rest of the way. The course was fine for barefooting. Going out on St Charles street a little rough...

    Yes, Dallas marathon/half. I was really happy to finally meet and run with another barefooter. Let me get through the NOLA race and then I'll let you know what the rest of winter/spring holds for me. I really wish I hadn't signed up for it but my youngest son needs a marathon and he couldn't...

    Back in the saddle today with 5.5 miles. I took off a full week after my first half marathon and then it started to rain, so missed a few more days. Feel like a slug. Can't afford to feel that way though because I've signed up for anothe half in four weeks. Has anyone run in downtown New...

    Mileage reporting 51st week of 2014

    That was me! I ran the whole thing barefoot but honestly the highlight of the race was getting to meet, run, and chat with another bare footer. I told everyone about you! And you really took my mind off of what was, for me, a hard part of the race.

    cold (possibly wet) marathon strategy?? -barefoot/huarache

    How did it go? I'm interested in other barefooters' wet conditions strategies. My first half is in ten days and the long range forecast is for rain. The very idea of running 13 miles barefoot in cold rain is killing me and I can NOT run 13 miles in shoes (VFFs), much less wet shoes. Help.

    5th Annual Winter Challenge

    I'm joining the challenge, not to compete, but to help motivate myself out the door for the next few months. I've signed up for my first two half marathons and it would be beyond demoralizing to not finish. Chances are good that the one in December will be cold. I've never used a spreadsheet so...

    BarePadz: A new approach to minimal footwear!

    I got them today and they're wonderful! Also a pair for one of my kids and a pair for a grandson. I can see so many uses for these. Cold, heat, coarse gravel, nut shells (terrible this time of year), stickers. And jumping rope-to keep from scraping all the skin off balls of my feet. Because I'm...

    BarePadz: A new approach to minimal footwear!

    Today, after digging yet another sticker out of an impossible to reach foot area, I went looking for a solution and there were your BarePadz on Kickstarter. Yes, please. I'll take two pair. (I see it's almost funded.)
