    Barefoot Fourth of July

    I had barbecuing fun with my husband and chosen family (friends). And yes, I was barefoot all day :)

    Xero Shoes Genesis Review!

    I won the Xero Genesis huaraches, but I had also purchased the same ones a couple of weeks prior. Therefore, I have been testing these babies for about a month now. Overall, I give these 5 toes, but not without a few caveats. Ground Feel: 4 toes. I don't have very much experience with...

    I won the Xero Genesis huaraches, but I had also purchased the same ones a couple of weeks prior. Therefore, I have been testing these babies for about a month now. Overall, I give these 5 toes, but not without a few caveats. My toe system rates from 1 toe (terrible) to 5 toes (fantastic)...

    I ran fast! (For a corgi)

    Today's early morning run had a companion, one of my house guests. We did my usual route, but today's menu had me running for 15 minutes then walking 5, then running another 15. I noticed that I kept a little quicker pace trying to keep up with my companion, but I tried to stick to my usual as...

    The Best Run Yet

    Friday, I was running on fumes sleep wise. I nearly didn't want to run, but I decided to anyway because I needed the zen meditative state that running brings me. Best decision ever. For the first time, I didn't have any hotspots, abrasions, or soreness in general. I ran my longest...

    My first chip&seal walk and other things

    "Week 6," or for me, Week 8, was a wrap on Thursday. I can't say that my last two runs of the week were my most wonderful or transcendent, but they were still delightful. My body still dislikes running after the sun comes up, but I keep making it. I do wonder when my heart rate will...

    Cadence of a 'good' barefoot runner?

    While I am still quite new to both barefooting and to running, I have studied my last two runs for the sake of science. I found that, for my stubby little legs, 192 spm feels just about perfect. I tested 180, and my feet felt sluggish and sticky. So I tapped out what felt the best, and 192 was...

    Xero Shoes Genesis Review

    For my starter minimalist sandal, I grabbed the Genesis too. Not going to lie, I love them and haven't really found a disqualifying fault with them. I agree that the knot on the top stays put quite nicely and allows me to balance my huaraches on my foot. At first, I disliked the tubular...

    Running in the Dark

    Last night, I went for a wonderful, albeit overly long walk. It was a test for my feet, to see if the blistery bits had healed. Turns out, yes. Yes they had. I wound up walking about 5.5 miles in my xeros. The only bad part was that my phone died mid-walk, so my backup plan was kaput until I got...

    Comment by 'MissRandie' in 'Blistering Sands and the Tale of Two Grumpy Feet.'

    For thise who like a Paul Harvey-esque "rest of the story," my tootsies feel fine today. After draining off the fluid, everything seems just fine. In that case, I shall get up early tomorrow and start my 8-minute intervals that I had previously been afraid to begin.

    Blistering Sands and the Tale of Two Grumpy Feet.

    Here, I thought I was doing so well. And I was, until today when my Superman complex kicked in. The small set of blisters under my third and fourth MP joints on the right side had finally given up the ghost, lost their extra hide, and had started toughening the underskin. The left side blister...

    Toega is the new fitness trend that makes us very uneasy

    Lol oh Heavens to Betsy, look out! Next thing we know, people will stop wearing hosiery and hats and gloves and.. And.. Oh bother. They already have. Gotta love the Gotcha type titles.

    I'll never understand the title. Why on earth does it make them uneasy?

    A morning of zen.

    Poetic MissRandie: This morning, something finally "clicked." I had an urge to go run and, rather than keeping to my schedule for schedule's sake, I went ahead and did a mindful scan of my body to see if it would be a wise idea. (This is something I've begun doing, and it's quite freeing to...

    Comment by 'MissRandie' in 'The Beginning'

    Thank you! I will make sure to join up with them. I also have 3 kitties running around. One from a humane society, one from a couple that was moving, and one that chose us after a life on the streets. Life is never dull with them. On occasion, my fluffy little senior, Madison, likes to play...
