    Wellstar 5k

    Well no where near as impressive as you guys' races, but there were a lot of Docs running and it was hilarious to see the looks and respond to the questions about being barefoot. My wife was a few paces behind me and said several peeps almost tripped turning to see that I was barefoot. Loads of...

    Mick Dodge

    Well, I have been watching this new show on Nat Geo....wondering if anyone else is and what you think about his practices? He calls himself the barefoot sensei. I would greatly much prefer a show with Ted or Ken Bob, but..... Originally posted in my Georgia forum thought i would open it up to a...

    Tips for trail running barefoot

    I am making pretty good mileage barefoot on asphalt, but still have difficulty on trails with large rocks (fist sized and sharp). Is it normal to lag in trail running as opposed to running on the road. Any tips to help me progress. My dream is to never wear shoes while running and I feel a...

    No barefoot in church

    Well it finally happened: I had one of those confrontations I always read about. Though I don't go barefoot in church on Sundays, I did while teaching vacation bible school. The congregation leader was yelling at my mother in law. I interceded and learned it was because I had been barefoot in...

    Foot tenderness

    I had a great 6 mile run last weekend barefoot the whole way. I felt great! I had no wear spots or blisters, but my feet were a little tender at the end. On Monday I went for a 4 miler, and at mile 3 I had to walk. My feet still had no marks, but they were so tender I could only run when I could...

    GlASS! eeeek!

    Well it finally happened. The ubiquitous and hyper inflated danger purported by all of my incredulous friends and observers was finally realized! While on my third barefoot run of the week I was feeling good and decided to push my pace a bit. My faithful running companion Jax (a pit bull only...

    Advice on potential stress fracture

    Well, I am up to 4.5+ miles running barefoot and am loving it. Last week on a normal short and easy run I diverted my attention from my running for a moment and stepped on a rock. 1 mile later I was limping and had to stop. I was barely able to walk home. It was really tender on the bottom, but...

    Sole Soreness

    Ok: I am up to 3 miles a day all the way barefoot, and I can do it on consecutive days. I have no blisters or open sores on my feet, but they are tender on the inside and outside of the ball. Sometimes at the end of my run I have to stay on the white line or dip into the grass for a break. I...

    Just Re-Starting

    Ok, broke my foot in a half ironman in May so I have been swimming only since then. I am going to start running tonight. I know I cannot go totally BF and get my mileage in, even though I am going to stay around 3 miles the first couple weeks I am looking for input on a training plan to get my...

    Florida Half Ironman

    Well I competed in my first half iron man and finished. I did the run in Luna because they would not allow barefoot. My time was horrible, but considering I broke a metatarsal in my foot at mile 6 of the run I am still happy. Prior to the event I got cleated by one of my players during soccer...

    Sore 4th and 5th metatarsals

    I removed some dead skin on my left foot, and got a little too much creating an open would. I treated it, but kept opening it so I finally put some super glue on it to close it. Well everything was going fine, it healed up just fine, but lately when I run on it it feels like I have a bruise on...

    Barefoot Evolution

    Ok, so I know it takes a while to get your feet in shape, and I was totally pumped to be able to get 2 days of 4 miles in last week with no discomfort. It was an asphalt run with some concrete and 1.5 miles of wood chip trail. I was feeling great and decided to try my 5x1's bf and was only able...

    Interesting Observation

    I was pushing off on two toes of my left foot and continually blistering them. I put toe rings on them and when the clicked it reminded me not to. I got my mileage up to 4 miles on asphalt no probs at all.

    BF on the DC Mall

    On a recent field trip with 80+ high school freshmen, I found myself with some time to burn on the Washington DC Mall while we awaited our time at the national archives. After a rousing game of Simon Says, I kicked off my shoes and took advantage of the many types of terrain: pea gravel, mud...

    Achilles pain

    My Achilles are both hurting below my ankles. It's worse after I run while walking. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do about it? They are tender to the touch as well. I run 2 miles in Luna's and 1 or 2 bf.

    Ore Feet

They look worse than they are, but I am conceerned whether I am doing bad form or if it is just what I have to go through to get my feet tougher. I have looked through the forums...
