    Meeting another barefoot trail runner...

    So, it seemed for quite some time that I was the only barefoot runner in Hong Kong. Now I know that is not true any longer. On one of our hikes through the Maclehose trail, we can across Yuan, a barefoot trail runner since 4 years already. The nice thing being that he is even an ultra runner...

    Hiking barefoot above the sea of clouds: my climb on Lantau Peak

    More group runs... Where barefooting awakens interest!

    So, 4th barefoot run with the phone company's events. This time, while taking the forest shortcut from my home to the sports ground, I encountered (or rather heard) two wild boars.
