    What does it mean to see bare feet in your dream?

    Aren’t these interpretations based on conventional “Western” views of barefootedness? How might other cultures view barefootedness even amongst Western - European cultures?

    Mileage Reporting Week 8 (Feb 21 - Feb 27)

    Five barefoot runners and a barefoot dog in Oakland CA on Sunday morning, February 21. Yes. That was us. Two first timers with dog joined three repeat champions of the Lake Merritt Barefoot Runners meetup. Approximately 5 km on a breezy cool morning with clear skies. It was fun.

    Mileage Reporting Week 7 (Feb 14 - Feb 20)

    Don’t have much to report yet except a wimpy 1 mile barefoot run on Tuesday followed by another 4+ miles of barefoot walking around the neighborhood. Today I walked another 5 miles. Maybe I will get a run tomorrow? Sunday is a definite since I scheduled with friends for a barefoot run.

    Mileage Reporting Week 6 (Jan 07 - Feb 13)

    Got out twice this week to run. On Tuesday, got in a short 1.7 miles but went out for 4.1 miles with other barefooters around the Lake on Sunday - social pressure helps! Oh well. I will try to do better in the coming week.

    I almost always train barefoot but since COVID I have only worked out at home.

    Thanks! I did get out today. Had a nice run with three other barefooters and one other person who kept shoes on. Beautiful day!

    Mileage Reporting Week 3 (Jan 17 - Jan 23)

    It has been a long time for me since I last reported. Additionally, I haven't been very regular in my running for a long time though I have gotten out once a month to go around Lake Merritt with a few other barefoot runners. We are going again today. I managed to get out for additional runs...

    Okay, 'Fess Up! Which one of you did this?

    Wasn’t me but I can only imagine the possible responses. The intro to the segment was worse than the passenger’s comments. Was this a setup???

    People's reactions when you run

    Yes! I rarely wear shoes now when I run or walk in my neighborhood. Neighbors, friends and even strangers will be surprised when they see me with shoes on.

    Commentary regarding Barefootedness...

    Yes. Like you, when I run out for a quick errand down the street, I frequently leave the house without ID, too! That would have been a nightmare!

    Commentary regarding Barefootedness...

    The officer said that the complainant thought I picked up a backpack along to way and I was talking on the cell phone. I was (unwisely) fidgeting my phone on a partly dark street. Hopefully, barefootedness was not the complaint but a distinguishing characteristic of a stranger walking on a...

    Commentary regarding Barefootedness...

    I am visiting downtown St Petersburg FL and I went on a night (9 pm) trip to a nearby market for some soda. Walked on the street barefoot. Not many pedestrians except for people walking their dogs. Got about four blocks from the airbnb apartment. Someone called the police. Three squad cars...
