    Georgia Jewel

    Good places to run in Charleston SC

    I'll be visiting Charleston SC soon and wondering if any barefooters know good places to run there? beaches, trails and parks? A run with some local barefooters would be cool too.

    Week Ending March 12/13

    How is everyone doing this week? 2 miles barefoot for me this week, it turned a bit colder in the early morning on some days...so I went with the Merrell Trail gloves for 8 miles on wet muddy trails. I think that was the end of any colder weather for us here in Georgia.
