    Careful out there...A Fractured Baby Toe

    I've been barefoot running for a couple of years. Barefoot trail running for 1 1/2 years. I pride myself on staying focused as I know this is critical to avoiding injury on technical barefoot runs. I've managed to avoid any real injuries up until now. For a moment a few days ago, I lost...

    Richmond Half Mary - unshod

    Just wrapped up running the Richmond Half. Great race, well organized, and great conditions. I've been agonizing over barefooting a course I've never prerun barefoot but braved it anyways. Goal pace was a 1:40, I hit a 1:42:40. Still a PR so I'm pleased. Tons of positive conversations. Put in...

    Shod or Unshod...that is the question...

    So I'll be running the Richmond Half this Saturday and still not sure if I'm barefooting it or not. I'm pretty unfamiliar with the course and not too sure what I might encounter. To prepare myself, I've done 15 plus at an easy pace barefoot. Yesterday I did a 10 miler at goal pace around...

    Anyone barefooting Richmond?

    Who's running the Richmond Mary, Half, or 8k on November 13th? Anyone barefooting it? I've run the half a couple times shod but probably going bare this year. Just wondering if I'll see any other free footed runner's out there.

    My wife's getting frustrated!

    My wife is a great supporter of my barefooting. We live in a small town where she knows everyone and isn't embarrased when people say "we saw your husband running barefoot 8 miles from your house at 6:30a.m." In fact, I think she kinda digs me for it. My children are also big supporters, but...

    Lots of Muddy Feet!

    Unfortunatley, most of them were covered up. This past Saturday was the ASYMCA 8k Mudrun in Norfolk, VA. It was to date the most fun I've had on a barefoot run. Mile 1 is packed sand on the beach, 2 is a rooty trail run, 3 was a mix of road and grass fields, and the last 2 were deep, powdery...
