    barefoot and pregnant and in need of shoes. :(

    Any barefooters out there that have been through pregnancy? I am in my 7th month of pregnancy and I'm advised to wear shoes in my last months of pregnancy. Any suggestions?

    Merrell Pace Glove vs. Merrell Dash Glove

    I haven't posted in a long time. :( I've had a lot going on. Still running barefoot though! :) I have been wearing the Pace Gloves to work because I don't want to do "toe shoes" at work. I just discovered that Merrell now offers a road shoe, Dash Glove, they were not available when I purchased...

    Morning stiffness

    Curious if this is a phase or does anyone else have the same problem. In the morning when I first get out of bed and put weight on my feet they are a bit tender and stiff. Almost as if they were stuffed into a small space (crammed) for a while. Walking is a small challenge, don't ask me to hit...

    faster. colder.

    I think I'm getting faster. 1.77miles today in a chilly 52*... I say that to give you east coasters a chuckle. But, seriously, in the shade I experienced the chilled concrete and the affect it had on my feet. Was tolerable but made everything feel like pins and needles. About 1 mile in I warmed...

    Electricity...?

    This is kind of a silly side note to all my BF training... and I have no clue if it's related or not, but my co-workers made the comment and I thought it was funny. I work in diagnostic imaging so I am around big xray machines all day both rooms are not carpeted, they have vinyl floors. For...

    Improving, I think. But I'm s l o w

    Just thought I'd share. I timed myself today and jogged most all of my route, except for the very start and downhill descent. I timed myself by checking the clock as I walked out of the house and again coming in so I used 27 min out and back so that includes my waits at the light (2) to cross a...

    WTH?

    I'm not one to talk trash, unless I'm really familiar with you (you are my friend) and it's kidding and being a good sport, not meant maliciously. I know someone who is training for a Tough Mudder event. In talking with her about her training then coming home to discuss with my boyfriend, he and...

    Standing

    I know this is a "running" forum but I really want to ask about standing. I bought Merrells Pace Glove to have on hand if I go on nearby trails ( I learned today that I'm NOT ready for barefoot off-roading ) and to wear to work. I work in healthcare so I cannot wear flip flops and although I...

    Not wanting to be annoying... but...

    I am coming up with more and more questions. I'm thinking I might need a book to read, Barefoot Running Step by Step is one on my list but not gotten it yet. I hope I'm not being too annoying here... Family and friends have expressed concerns about me running BF and not being "protected". On a...

    Newbie from So. Cal. still around, update (from the docs thread) and some statements and questions.

    I'm updating here from my thread that was started in the docs area because I'm going to lead into some other questions probably not suited for that forum. (?) I had started BF running... about a month before I was "injured". I wasn't running very consistentely for a months time though and...

    stress fracture?? :(

    I posted about blisters a couple days ago. Found out my form needs help. But, Wednesday this week I developed foot pain on a run and read a thread here about pain in the ball of the foot and thought it was maybe like that, a possible "bruise" on the bone or somthing. Well, call me stupid and...

    New from Southern California

    I suppose it's proper to introduce yourself to a new group. :) I'm Laura, I live in Laguna Beach, CA and I just started barefoot running about a month ago. I had plans to use a minimal shoe but since I'm tight on money I decided to just go barefoot! I had hip pain at the start because I pushed...

    Blisters

    I am very new to BF running. I have only been doing it for a month or so. I had plans to ditch the running shoes after my last event (1/2 marathon, June 5) and try minimalist shoes such as Vibram Five Fingers. After moving to a new city I found myself tight on money so I continued to run in my...
